	Interestingly, phenomena as described by Cueball have occurred several times in recorded history, with effects quite nearly like those described, most notably the Carrington event of 1859. In 1859, a {{w\|Solar storm of 1859\|solar storm}} produced a series of powerful geomagnetic storms across the world, and many telegraph operators reported electrical phenomena (electric shock from the apparatus, messages sent and received despite disconnect from power sources, and pylons carrying telegraph lines sparking and arcing with current) all across North America. For this to occur in shorter conductors, (e.g., Beret guy's extension cord,) a solar storm would have to be so destructively large as to pose far more danger than just fires. The chances of such a solar event occurring again are not prohibitively small, though quite infrequent, and the last one, of comparative size and strength, was recorded in {{w\|Solar storm of 2012\|2012}}.

		+	Ironically, Cueball convincing [[Beret Guy]] that this would happen may lead to it actually happening within Beret Guy's vicinity; he has repeatedly demonstrated many [[:Category:Strange powers of Beret Guy\|strange powers]], and the laws of physics tend to bend themselves around him in order to fit his perceptions of the universe.

	''{{w\|Mythbusters}}'' is a show that tests urban legends or myths that viewers submit. They have a classic style of scaling up myths to comical sizes. By starting the myth that a fire would be formed from the large voltage across the wire induced by the Earth's magnetic field, Cueball hopes to see it tested on ''Mythbusters'', and perhaps then scaled up to astronomical proportions. This comic may also reference how ''Mythbusters'' was running out of urban legends to test, and has resorted to testing the feasibility of viral videos, movie scenes, proverbs, and the like, plus occasionally making up urban legends.

-The title text refers to the {{w|Large Hadron Collider|Large Hadron Collider (LHC)}}, the most powerful particle collider in the world and the fear of some people of the production of stable {{w|Micro black hole|microscopic black holes}} destroying the Earth. Of course, testing something like this would be outside the scope of a show like ''MythBusters''. Additionally, if the myth was confirmed, the planet would be destroyed, and nobody would like the ''MythBusters'' anymore. However, that wouldn't be much of a problem, seeing that there would be no one around to like anything.
