Week 19: 6/10/2015 - 9pm PDT 6/17/2015
Just about every workplace has to worry about safety. Many companies have a safety team that is trained to handle emergencies and help patients until proper medical technicians arrive. In a typical office environment this training is pretty easy, but what if you're working on the bleeding edge of science? CERN's safety team trains for everything, including badly burned hands and partially removed eyeballs. Don't worry, these are just simulated injuries, which is probably why this CERN scientist is so calm, even smiling for the photo! CERN's medical room also appears to be well stocked - with a full skeleton, and no less than four different types of fire extinguishers.
So, even though we already have a pretty good idea of what is going on in this photo (and the accompanying album), we're sure you'll come up with some great captions. Have at it!
This week's prize is a Lightblue Bean 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 told you, that lunatic Gordon guy is out there again, swinging a pry bar this time. Mumbling about demons, aliens and other dimensions...

My mom said if I continued doing it, I'd go blind... I never understood the mechanism until now.
Are you sure? yes | no
You will follow the safety rules! I have my eye on you... and my other eye on you behind me.
Are you sure? yes | no
Let's build a life size Mario level in the beam tube they said. It'll be fun they said. Well, it hurts a little but I beat Alfred's highscore!

Franz turned the particle accelerator to 'eleven.' He got off much easier than the last guy.
Are you sure? yes | no
Locutus explains why he switched to superconductivity research after realizing resistance was futile.
Are you sure? yes | no
I am locutus of Cern.

People are always confused at what the scientists at CERN do for a living. They work hard 9 to 5 to develop the latest in latex Halloween accessories. They only smash particles on the weekends for fun and to warm up their coffee.
Are you sure? yes | no
If you think this mere flesh wound will keep CERN from world domination, Mr. Bond, you are gravely mistaken.
Are you sure? yes | no
It soon became apparent that it had been a mistake to entrust site security to sharks with lasers.
Are you sure? yes | no
Got em' coach!

Joe was unsettlingly smug for someone having received a fatal dose of radiation.
Are you sure? yes | no
"We can rebuilt him. Make him stronger, faster and better than ever... Except in this case, we have failed miserably."
Are you sure? yes | no
" and then i said - Go on, hit me with a Caption CERN punchline, if you want to win the prize ...."

And the skeletons started to come out of the closet at CERN; John was outed as a David Bowie fan after his injury during a karaoke session.
Are you sure? yes | no
Damn... Those Higgs Bosons are bigger than we expectedc.
Are you sure? yes | no
Remember boys and girls, from personal experience, ALWAYS add the acid to the water, NEVER the other way around.

When CERN accidentally opened a portal to a higher dimension, the lovecraftian horror got in the first blow but with the twitch of the good Dr's manly stache and a solid left hook the monster quickly kow-towed.
Are you sure? yes | no
We Are the Borg. You Will be Assimilated. Resistance is Futile.
