Caption CERN Contest Week 15

Week 15: 5/13/2015 - 9pm PDT 5/20/2015

Accidents happen! When you're working on the bleeding edge of science and technology, things don't always go as planned. In this image, we're looking at what appears to be the result of some sort of failure. We're not sure what the piece of equipment was, but "was" is the proper term - as it's now charred to a crisp.

The two scientists investigating the damage don't seem to be worried about the radiation warning posted on the end of the machine's aperture. Hopefully they know what they're doing!

Last week's prize was a Bus Pirate. This week we're giving away another Dangerous Prototypes design, a Logic Pirate 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!

"This is the second server these idiots have fried! What the hell's a Hulu, and why are they trying to watch Gilligan's Island with it?" Thanks to some unplanned quantum tunneling, Berners-Lee was even further ahead of his time than he thought.

Lately, CERN has been looking into a new propulsion system, consisting entirely of the magic blue smoke

I may be shortening my life span by 30 years, but ever girl's crazy about a sharp dressed glowing green man!

DAMMIT Bob! You fried the hyper drive. Now how are we going to get back home?

Are you sure? yes | no

Wait WHAT!! I thought those signs were warning us about thermal radiation!

Are you sure? yes | no

The earlier versions of the Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device were not so much portable and a lot more explodable. But don't worry, they eventually made it much more portable.

Are you sure? yes | no

Last month Jim told HR we were looking for the boson, not a bozo...

Are you sure? yes | no
