I remember listening to a guest on Art Bell a few years back discussing "Super 
Nova from the Super Collider." The guest was suggesting that the Fermilabs 
Super Collider (I believe it's outside Chicago) would be large and powerfull 
enough to actually create a super nova, everything within 250K miles would be 
instantly vaporized.

At least it would be quick and painless.

Of course, this was the Art Bell show, but the guy had impressive credentials 
like a Doctorate in Physics from some made up university somewhere.
