Time Traveling Bird Sabotages Collider

Sometime on Nov. 3, the supercooled magnets in sector 81 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), outside Geneva, began to dangerously overheat. Scientists rushed to diagnose the problem, since the particle accelerator has to maintain a temperature colder than deep space in order to work. The culprit? "A bit of baguette," says Mike Lamont of the control center of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, which built and maintains the LHC. Apparently, a passing bird may have dropped the chunk of bread on an electrical substation above the accelerator, causing a power cut. The baguette was removed, power to the cryogenic system was restored and within a few days the magnets returned to their supercool temperatures.

"A bit of baguette,"

...The culprit? "er... yes, em, it must have been a... bird" said Mike Lamont of the control center of CERN, brushing crumbs from his beard and fondling a particularly ripe piece of Camembert nestling in his cardigan pocket...

Did anyone check for baguette remains between the temp sensor and the head? Could this be the culprit?

 

Enquiring mind... you know.

Now there's a fine name for a motorcycle.

[Admin Jaap]

It corresponds with the Aprilia Man(n)a

By the way, as a matter of interest etc

 

do you guys, over there, have digestive biscuits?

If so, do you call them something, well, let's say a little more modern?

Can't say I'm familiar with the product. Does have that 19th century sound to it.

 

I can offer the "Mississippi Delta Cathead Biscuit" Pretty sure they don't aid digestion. burp
