Caption CERN Contest Week 25

Week 25: 7/22/2015 - 9pm PDT 7/29/2015

We're not kidding when we say CERN scientists and engineers really get into their work. Check out at this CERN scientist looking down at his.. uh, experiment. We're not sure exactly what this device is. There is a sealed chamber, but is it a vacuum, or some sort of specialized atmosphere for the research this scientist is working on? Either way, he seems very interested in whatever is happening inside this box!

So what's happening here? High energy physics, or some new coffee maker?

You tell us!

This week's prize is once again 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.

Darn it! I should have known that adding a wormhole generator to my squirrel's cage might let it escape!

Are you sure? yes | no

Even though the normal vacuum tubes were cheaper, Bob used his homemade vacuum tube in order to avoid an extra trip to the store.

Are you sure? yes | no

The first prototype pocket protector was deemed too bulky and complex.

Are you sure? yes | no

Mystery surrounded the Energy Production Deparpment's methods and research. Even the occasional scientist chasing a hampster down the hall didn't completely clear things up.

Are you sure? yes | no

After 5 years and $2.5 million in R&D, Dr. Maxwell poses with what he calls a "3D Printer", whatever that is.

Are you sure? yes | no

Quick, Schrodinger. Go and get another cat. We made the box see-through this time.

Are you sure? yes | no

Camouflaged as a computerized bong, this device spawned countless adult toys in the future, but the beta was a phallic failure.

Are you sure? yes | no

At Cern you have to be careful when having fun with the new guy, John was sent for a bucket of steam and only reappeared 6 months later with this contraption.

Are you sure? yes | no

At that time CERN scientists realized that the cat was nor dead or alive, but hiding inside the keg of the beer dispenser.

Are you sure? yes | no

By use of a clear enclosure, scientists were finally able to check on Schrödinger's cat without risking a face full of hydrocyanic acid

Are you sure? yes | no
