Caption CERN Contest Week 9

Week 9: 4/1/2015 - 9pm PDT 4/8/2015

Some of CERN's experiments take place in the miles of tunnels around their labs in Meyrin, on the border of France and Switzerland. It looks like this image was taken in one of those tunnels. It's definitely an interesting shot! CERN's documentation for the image has been to history, so it's up to you to explain what's going on here!

Link to the original CERN image.

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!

I think that this is part of the vacuum system for the intersecting storage ring. That horrible suit has engineer written all over it.

Cave Johnson on one of his rare trips to the testing facilities. Next to Mr. Johnson is a prototype of the conversion-gel conveyer tubes or CGC tubes for short. Moments after this picture were taken, Mr. Johnson stepped in a pool of spilled gel and slipped. He never went back to the tunnel after that.

As they looked at the bright orange glow in horror, their last thoughts were of their families and that they probably shouldn't have used a lava tube as part of their accelerator.
