Somewhere in Ireland is our very own Area 51 where highly secretive tests take place. Like this one

So CERN are switching on this big machine to recreate the big bang, or something. Wednesday is the day when the experiment goes ahead. Some speculation as to what will happen after the experiment. Will the earth be sucked into the black hole?

Some photoshopping follows on how the actual end of the world news might be greeted in the Irish blog world.

No one knows it it was a photoshop job or not, but it’s from a recently resurrected discussion on boards.ie.

The last comment on the thread was 16^th August 2004! And then someone jumps in yesterday to say

I just hearda bout this now
Seriously, anyone have a pic that works?
The one previously linked doesn’t work

I wonder what search phrase brought the inquisitive boards.ie member to the ancient thread?

There is one other famous Irish-celebrity-trouser mishap, courtesy of Terry Wogan. How the hell did the wardrobe people not spot it?

Begosh and begorrah, top of the mornin’ to ye.

There’s a controversy going on down in Cork about a 15ft headstone erected in Kilcully Cemetery. I saw the picture in the paper and thought, that doesn’t look too big. I’m not great a visualising distances like this, so I took out a measuring tape and ran it along the ground and then up along the house.

15 foot is massive. It’s no wonder people are up in arms.

Something suitably gaudy and ridiculous was needed to show the scale of this €50,000 monstrosity. John McCain fit the bill quite well I feel.  

So you’re Irish and working down under as a carpenter. The white hiace, red hair and milk bottle skin don’t mark you out as Irish enough? Paint the van so.

Brilliant stuff!

Hello Mail on Sunday readers.

A lot of you are looking for this video on the site at the moment. So here it is..

Bit of a kerfuffle in Bray, Co. Wicklow about the above billboard ad that went up to advertise a Leaving Cert results party in a local night club.

One mother said :

“It’s absolutely disgusting and wildly inappropriate.. It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t so big, but you just can’t avoid it when you drive or walk past. It’s one of the most sexually explicit images they could have possibly chosen without it actually being pornographic.”

Don’t see anything sexually explicit about Ray Shah’s bald head, but there’s probably some weird bald fetishist out there will have got a kick from the whole thing. 

They took it down because of the complaints anyway. The bebo page is there to have a look at Ray’s head – and the titillating picture of a naughty school girl with the “Sex Ed” written on the blackboard behind her. Advertisers - they never learn do they?

The Bebo page of the biggest Leaving Cert party on the southside. Bray is now considered the southside of Dublin?

Loving their ‘Best fucks of all time’ blog entry though – very un-pc.

With thanks to 73man for the heads up.

Smiles all round here.
