Week 1: 2/2/2015 - 9pm PDT 2/10/2015

Yes, you get an extra day this week.

What the heck is going on in this image? We've got a man operating robot arms, cameras, old school oscilloscopes, and lots of equipment in the background.

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!

Seen above, first documented wedding between a human and a robot after approval of the "Proposition Infinity" on the legalization of robosexual marriage. This event turned into a roborgy when robots starts tickling their knobs.

It is kind of funny that cern invented big data, and didn't keep track of the perishable parts of the photo subjects. www.cernlove.org/blog/tag/robot/

Hey jlbrian7 - based on your link, I was able to search down the actual person in this image - it's Roger Horne, working with MANTIS. I've submitted this information to CERN's comments section. Awesome Work!

They give him cheesy projects,

the worst they can find (la-la-la)

He'll have to sit and complete them all,

and we'll monitor his mind (la-la-la)

Now keep in mind Nevin can't control

when the projects begin or end (la-la-la)

He'll try to keep his sanity

With the help of his robot friends.

  Are you sure? yes | no
