Best intro ever.

Interview with Brian Cox from the LHC project, on Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe, 10/7/2009:

Neil Denny: Hello, what’s your name?

Brian Cox: I’m Brian Cox, and I’m a professor of particle physics at CERN in Geneva.

Denny: It’s very kind of you to take a break from the very giant Bond villainesque maze underneath the countryside of Switzerland, where you physicists are basically plotting to destroy the world. Or the universe even. So why have you come to town?

Cox: Well, to give the world an extra week. Because if I’m not there, then obviously the process of destroying the universe is slowed.
