Week 4: 3/10/2015 - 9pm PDT 3/17/2015

Here we go again! Time to get those captions ready! What do you think is going on in this image from CERN's archives?

Link to the original CERN image.

CERN scientists and engineers often find themselves in interesting positions. However, we're not sure if this CERN staffer ever expected to be quite where he is now!

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!

There's actually nothing to do inside here... but my brother took a selfie inside the secondary mirror of ESO's VLT scope so... you know... i wanted one for me as well...

The sleeping tubes at CERN are much more roomy than the japanese counterpart. But they still haven't figured out how to get rid of the pipes.

"Here at ACME, we pride ourselves in making sure our products fail you in the most critical of moments. Pictured is a technician making sure the oversize cannon will only fire when you're inside of it instead of at your target."

Here's our main power generator. When operational we have 5 people running on each of the several tubes like this and they're the one who power the electromagnets.

  Are you sure? yes | no

They might be right, building my own collider is just a pipe dream.

The wash cycle was OK, but the candidate couldn't handle the spin cycle. Next!

"Ahh yes, here we see Alain Proviste, a previous employee just before he sneezed and misaligned and contaminated 2 million worth of our equipment"

John kept to himself at work fearing nobody would ever fully accept his relationship with the R-37 titanium alloy hydraulic coupling, Doris.

"You know that tingly feeling people tend to get before something really bad happens? I have that tingling right now. Either that or these static separator tubes are powering up for a test fire.  Wait just a minute..."

Only after installing the last piece did Phil realized that he had trapped himself forever in the experimental apparatus.  "Wait a minute," he thought to himself "maybe those other techs didn't go on sudden long-term vacation like management said..."
