Week 8: 3/25/2015 - 9pm PDT 4/1/2015

Caption, Caption, who's got the winning Caption?

What do you think is going on in this image from CERN's archives?

Link to the original CERN image.

Some scientists and engineers at CERN appreciate their equipment more than others. This CERN staffer really seems to appreciate this particular rack of equipment. What could make it so special?

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!

Spending 120 hours a week at work, Dr. Dietsch knew his only love could and would ever be Bernadette, the machine that he could always stay up with, into the late hours of the morning plugging away and coding in sweet nothings.

We need more apparatus Herman, the E.E.G., the BP monitor, and the A.E.G. Oh, and get the machine that goes "PING!", and bring out the most expensive machines in case the adminstrator comes!

After failing to find the grounding problem, they paid Bob to stand there with his hand on the chassis.  This seemed to clean up the noisy signal.
