Caption CERN Contest Week 19

Week 19: 6/10/2015 - 9pm PDT 6/17/2015

Just about every workplace has to worry about safety. Many companies have a safety team that is trained to handle emergencies and help patients until proper medical technicians arrive. In a typical office environment this training is pretty easy, but what if you're working on the bleeding edge of science? CERN's safety team trains for everything, including badly burned hands and partially removed eyeballs. Don't worry, these are just simulated injuries, which is probably why this CERN scientist is so calm, even smiling for the photo! CERN's medical room also appears to be well stocked - with a full skeleton, and no less than four different types of fire extinguishers.

So, even though we already have a pretty good idea of what is going on in this photo (and the accompanying album), we're sure you'll come up with some great captions. Have at it!

This week's prize is a Lightblue Bean from The Hackaday Store.

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

Dr. Banks never tried eyeballing the electron beam alignment again.

Looking into the beam line burst Felix eye, but he kept good spirits thinking about the money he would make by publishing a book where he would claim to have seen god in the "eye"...

Are you sure? yes | no

While teleportation was a good idea, looking into the laser was not.

Well, it all started out fine with the usual skeletons, fire extinguishers, assorted experimental mixtures, someone took off their pants ... yada yada yada - just a typical late night CERN party. I remember noticing a small pocket knife - then it started getting weird - stabbings, mutilations, amputations ... guess I blacked out and somehow ended up in the emergency room. Overall though, can't wait until next week's party!

Despite his concerns about spontaneous human combustion, Roger survived his trip through the event horizon with considerably few injuries than poor Brian who's earthly remains now hang up in the lab as a stark reminder!

Tim found out the hard way that, at CERN, "color" has nothing to do with vision.

Ralphie still clearly remembers the Christmas when he finally got an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle despite of the nagging warning from his mother.

After several days of odd behavior, we finally realized that Fred was a cybernetic organism -- living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.

It seems that professor Smith took the command "keep an eye on that electron microscope" a bit too literally...
