great idea, reddit -- the crowbar for cern/lhc has been ordered (http://www.redditall.com/2008/08/great-idea-reddit-crowbar-for-cernlhc.html)

This sounds random enough to be a breadpig project (http://breadpig.com/), but in fact, the reddit community has yet again inspired something marvelous (http://www.reddit.com/comments/6uqq3/dear_reddit_we_should_buy_a_red_crowbar_and_send/). Upon learning that the Cern lab would be recreating the ill-fated Black Mesa project, Mad_Gouki (http://www.reddit.com/user/Mad_Gouki/) thought it'd be prudent to send them a red crowbar for the pending alien invasion. Chris knows a few fellow physicists working at the lab, so we'll do our best to get this in the right hands. Let's hope they have someone there named Gordon Freeman who knows what to do with it...

Look, it's not even a "crow bar" -- it's a fucking wrecking bar. Check back here for updates as I get this bane of headcrabs painted and shipped out. In the meantime, leave some ideas for notes to include in the comments.

I, for one, think this is awesome :awesome:

Discuss.

Oh, that's great.

I wonder if the CERN lab techs will get the reference and laugh at it, or be all srs bzns and think they're retarded.

[FluffyDucky™]

Wtf hax. I would go with serious business and think they're retarded.

QUICKLY! WE MUST GET THIS MAN A JOB AT CERN (http://cis3.mtsu.edu/cis/freeman.htm) BEFORE THE CROWBAR ARRIVES!!

[Botolf]

Haha, win! :awesome:

A wrecking bar? We'll be fine! Whoever gets it can just scavenge weapons from the military strike force that attacks the place. Too bad all of us here will be screwed when the combine come. D:

It's not exactly red, but it looks A LOT like the Half Life crowbar.

I'm gonna buy one. D:

[DrunkenSamus]

Gordon Freeman in da house!

Epic.

This crowbar will arrive before they fire this thing in 1 day, 22 hours, and 14 mins and 22 second right?
