Countdown

Editor's note -- According to the followers of radio preacher Harold Camping, Judgment Day is coming tomorrow. Camping et al. believe that 200 million people will be "raptured" on May 21, whereas the rest of humankind—and the world—will be destroyed.

Legend has it that Switzerland's Large Hadron Collider could generate "mini black holes" that devour the universe. 

The Editor plans to be among the 200-million rapturees and  hopes the ensuing destruction caused by "Supercollider" is not too painful.

The Daily Beast then ranked floral data obtained through the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture to determine that the Gerbera Daisy, at 114 millions stems sold annually, is America's top-selling flower!
