Week 21: 6/24/2015 - 9pm PDT 7/2/2015
These two CERN scientists are looking through some kind of optical apparatus. There is a plano-convex lens mounted on an adjustable arm. The scientists appear to be looking through a window while adjusting some controls.
Is this some kind of physics experiment? Could it be research into psychomotor acuity? Maybe the dark haired scientist is just getting her yearly CERN eye exam? You tell us!
This week's prize is a Teensy 3.1 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!

Helen and Irma had heard hushed whispers about this mysterious thing called 'pay equity', and were determined to find it, using the most advanced hardware known to man!

Calibrating CERN's new prototype "Particle Invaders" arcade machine was serious business, unfortunately it never sold well commercially.
Are you sure? yes | no
Margret, misunderstanding her instructions, built a Super-Kaleidoscope instead of a Super-Collider. Her mistake eventually evolved into what we know today as HD 3D TV.

...and if you look closely Betty, you will notice a Glass Ceiling in the prism. Mysteriously, only the female scientists here have been able to see it.

It cant hurt us through this glass, now hold this wand and repeat after me: Evanescunt stultus!!

This device makes hindsight 20/200, but scientists aren't sure why.

Preping the Voight-Kampff set up, they have learnt from their unfortunately predecessors that a mirrored bullet proof glass between them and the upset replicant subject might be a good idea.
Are you sure? yes | no
The CERN employees were very picky about stuck pixels on their large displays.
Are you sure? yes | no
CERN, taking burning ants with a magnifying glass and turning it into a fine art.

You return this to Mike, and tell him that the next time he'd try to propose, he should have a ring with a rock at least twice the size of this. Or I would throw him in the particle accelerator. God with these guys. He only has 3 PhDs and won 2 noble prizes and he thinks he could get a yes out of me with this?
Are you sure? yes | no
Famous last words: Don't look into beam with remaining eye.

If I hold it like this my hair becomes your beard. I know cool right, you're your own bearded brother.

"I actually remember it very well, the two twins were diligently practising their Vaudeville mirror gag. Cheating as usual, with an optical interferometer". George Lucas was here that day, taking a private tour. And when he saw the twins he mumbled something about "plot linchpin", "headpiece to the Staff of Ra" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Of course we had no idea what he was yammering on about back then.
Are you sure? yes | no
The new Arm Wrestling Simulator was a great hit at CERN. Mildred here is pictured wrestling with her conscience; Should she wear her bathrobe all day or do as Winifred insists and wear the appropriate lab coat.
