Caption CERN Contest Week 25

Week 25: 7/22/2015 - 9pm PDT 7/29/2015

We're not kidding when we say CERN scientists and engineers really get into their work. Check out at this CERN scientist looking down at his.. uh, experiment. We're not sure exactly what this device is. There is a sealed chamber, but is it a vacuum, or some sort of specialized atmosphere for the research this scientist is working on? Either way, he seems very interested in whatever is happening inside this box!

So what's happening here? High energy physics, or some new coffee maker?

You tell us!

This week's prize is once again a Teensy 3.1 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.

Dr. Wilhelm Schmeck takes a moment of silence before destroying his new-age mash tun. CERN management was less than thrilled when they learned Schmeck had built the tun for his home-brew club on the clock with company resources.

Alas, the prototype for the Fish Habitrail was unsuccessful. Could be the tank, could be the form or function...but I think the real problem was their sales guy.

CERN scientists again demonstrate that regardless of the amount of technology thrown at an idea, the perpetual motion machine remains elusive.

"here is a rare shot of CERNs artificial heart prototype. Due to its size, it was only installed in whales. And badgers. I don't know how, but somehow badgers."

Fernando always had an edge at the annual chili contest... His super hot peppers weren't to be taken without minimal equipment!

Are you sure? yes | no

Insert a joke about how "scientists make coffee with wild contraptions" that will be commonly accepted as funny because it plays off of the common man's lack of comprehension and originality.

Are you sure? yes | no

When management discovered that the cryptically name "Gravitea" project only needed the atomic clock to measure optimal steeping patterns, their scientists were in hot water.

Freddy's attempts to train goldfish to do back-flips using 15,000 volts was completely unsuccessful. It did result in some delicous fried fish sticks, however.

That's CERN's post modern arts piece "Square Peg into Round Hole". They mixed and contrast the disjointed elements of square and cylindrical constructions.

If a tough critic shows up, there is always the hidden Kick-in-the-Groin feature.

The new hamster will love this! I just hope he lasts longer than hamsters 1 through 40...
