Caption CERN Contest Week 1

Week 1: 2/2/2015 - 9pm PDT 2/10/2015

Yes, you get an extra day this week.

Link to the original CERN link: https://cds.cern.ch/record/1761017

What the heck is going on in this image? We've got a man operating robot arms, cameras, old school oscilloscopes, and lots of equipment in the background.

Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this project log, not on the project itself.

As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.

Good Luck!

After a botched NSF lab visit, the engineers were instructed to keep greasy fingerprints off the test equipment at any cost.

"OK, you're an animal! Yes, there we go. You're a tiger! You're Tony the Tiger! You're grrreat! Very good. Loving it. Now you're a lemur. Running as a pack. We go left. We go right. There's a predator out of the jungle. What's going on? Burrow! That's right, you're a lemur. That's all you've got. You don't have sharp teeth capable of biting. Make an interconnected series of tunnels like the Viet Cong. And look. I'm not even shooting you. It's crazy. And I'm spent."

I really hope you meant scopophobia. Scopophilia - I'm not sure I want to go there!

@milestogoh

"I really hope you meant scopophobia. Scopophilia - I'm not sure I want to go there!"

Just great!
Thanks for your ploy to ruin any chance of me winning this contest.
You are to comment on the photo; not on comments posted by others.

Your profile says you want a T-shirt. You really think this is the way to go about getting it?
Don't come in here and tell me, or others, that what I meant to say is what you thought as being something else.

I don't care to hear about your personal issues and hang-ups.

How many would agree that I should get a T-shirt for being attacked?

"Scopophilia or scoptophilia (from Greek σκοπέω skopeō, "look to, examine" and φιλία philia, "tendency toward"), is deriving pleasure from looking."

Are you sure? yes | no

If I am not supposed to use this reply space why is it here? How does this affect your chances of winning? Sorry I'm new here and I thought it might be OK to make a humorous comment, just kidding, a joke? Lighten up or the scopopilliacs might get you.

Are you sure? yes | no
