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!

Ok, so we finally have a really big laser, now all we need is to figure out how to get it to the moon.

His smoking doesn't ignite flammable gas; he'll also never develop lung cancer. He is the Most Interesting Engineer in the World.

Just finishing up the Isoleiten Bong, and this pipe smoker comes by every time I take a break.

Even though the CERN exercise room/espresso bar never took off, Captain Morgan and his first mate would occasionally sneak into the storage area to use the equipment on their off hours.

Few people know that the Levy Brothers actually perfected their "medicine" as a side project to help treat insomnia of CERN workers. Although the spiced rum would not get its infamous name until the recipe was purchased years later, we can clearly see that Mr Levy has a little captain in him.

"CERN; where pipe smokers are the only legitimate pipe inspectors"

"2 CERN employees that kept sneaking down too the tunnels for a smoke break ended up being the two most important people in CERN ever, as they tried to secretly store some pommeau in a 'well insulated' piece of equipment, they discovered a serious leak that could have marked the end of mankind"

"It was here, deep below the crust of the earth, that gordon came up with the HEV suit that would end up being his destiny"

(idk, i suck at coming up with fun captions, boo me)

Igor and Benny the Caveman seem to be adjusting well after they were accidently pulled into the CERN Time Tunnel.

Why have a smoaking room in each building, when we can build a smoaking tunnel under the whole complex.

Hans and Nigel contemplate the deep existential meaning of "Isolement Bon", a fundamentally Swiss concept. But where did the last letter go, a parallel universe perhaps?

Are you sure? yes | no

The man in the corduroy suit is about to step in a puddle with a live wire laying in it. Hans, knowing what is about to happen, calmly smokes a cigarette and waits for events to unfold............
