Caption CERN Contest Week 17

Week 17: 5/27/2015 - 9pm PDT 6/3/2015

Coils, gleaming metal, giant domes, now this is a proper mad scientist image! The CERN scientists in this image seem to be working on a large metal device of some sort. It definitely looks like an electrode which would be at home either at CERN or the well equipped home lab of one Dr. Frankenstein's. We don't have a caption, but we do have a rough date of August, 1961. What is happening in this image? Are these scientists setting up an experiment, or plotting world domination?

You tell us!

This week we're giving away 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!

"I swear, the light came right outta that hole, guys. Maybe climb just a little higher?"

No one suspected Lloyd, the longtime CERN groundskeeper, was the one eliminating the research staff. He was going to get away with it, if he could just keep those meddling kids occupied...

And then Barbarella pops out of this hole and Johnson down there catches her. Ready Johnson? This film is gonna be a classic!

Dr O. Redenbacher completed the instillation of the new equipment and demonstrating to the cafeteria staff that this is where the 25Lbs of butter goes to be heated for the popcorn .

Here we see CERN engineers putting together a very huge flash bulb to help take pictures of photons because in mad science, redundancy is key to driving others mad.

"You know, if we cut a hole in the bottom we wouldn't have to climb up here to clean it anymore ... ... just saying ..."

"I cannot believe we still have not produced a black hole sufficient to destroy the Earth."

"Don't worry, 13 TeV will certainly do the trick"

The Super Mario Live Action game show was cancelled before they even finished the filming as someone forgot to put on paddings for the walls. On the other hand, the blood stains on the metal walls washes off easily with our sponsor's cleaning product.

Ha! Now we know why Morpheus keeps saying "I can only show you the door". He didn't have a Little Giant ladder.

CERN's technicians have almost completed construction of the executive washroom. Despite many setbacks and budget overruns, they were able to include all of the special features requested by the executives, including a sonic shower and an automatic microwave powered foot massager.

Got to be more careful designing those exhaust vents! Many death stars were lost because they wanted to save a few pennies.

"And this feeds the hot water to the giant sink..." Once again, Daniels had to fight back the urge to shake Macready and scream "BUT WHY DO WE NEED THE GIANT SINK?" Instead, he just said "ahh" and buried the resentment deep inside what he called his "cancer-ball."

Despite facilities manager Baumgartner's repeated requests that scientists wear less-sheer slacks when working on the ladder, Upper Management refused to address the situation.

And that's where the secret exit from the Micronaut Megalopolis will go. Now, you go get Baron Karza and try to storm the city! Force Commander, Biotron, battle stations! Micronauts, ho!
