Caption CERN Contest Week 20

Week 20: 6/17/2015 - 9pm PDT 6/24/2015

Anyone who's worked on a major project, be it professional, personal, or for a contest like The Hackaday Prize, knows about marathon sessions. Those times when you put in your all and just push the project ahead until you drop. This scientist has definitely given his all and then some! He's catching a few winks right under the blackboard where he presumably has been working. This image has no caption, though it's attached to an album entitled Linac control room . None of the pictures seem to show much of a control room though. It seems that back in 1966, CERN's photographer was a bit more interested in sleeping scientists than the science itself!

So what do you think is happening in this image? Can you make anything interesting out from the diagrams on the blackboard? Give it a shot!

This week's prize is a Stickvice 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!

The first test subject of the Learn by Osmosis project at CERN reported that the bed was only somewhat comfortable, but no sience has been learned.

Tony, backing up ready to lie down for a rest, was in for the shock of his life. He didn't see that John had taken his favourite cat nap spot.

After spending 36 hours straight designing the perfect bed, Barry decides that he just doesn't care anymore.

The janitor hopes that sleeping in the presence of science will turn him into the European Will Hunting.

Decades ahead of their time, CERN scientists use wireless "SomnoAddo" machines to capture dreaming inspiration on blackboards, rendering the old "notebook on the bedside table" obsolete.

Carl had explored many methods of telling Lisa how he felt about her, but in the end settled on a simpler approach: X marks the spot.

Here we see the effects of "Taco Tuesday" on a unfortunate scientist. Air scrubbers were added shortly thereafter to keep accidents like this from occurring.

In the face of budget shortcomings, some interns had to be forced into service as step stools.

Most scientists didn't like it, but Steve had no problem going to sleep with a problem hanging over his head

Yes Edgar, your bum does look big in those trousers and to prove it take a look at how I've come to that conclusion. And of course there is a 0.05% allowance for Tweed.

Things get very complicated when you start sleeping around at CERN.

At CERN, it's easy to sabotage and steal someone's work. Just switch their coffee to decaf and they practically do the rest of the work for you.

The graphs and writing on the blackboard are part of a mathematical proof that everyone at CERN breathe, eat and sleep science.

Are you sure? yes | no
