From the article: "The LHC has been so plagued by problems and shutdowns that some physicists have wondered if it's being sabotaged by its own future. And the LHC has fallen victim to another bizarre shutdown involving a bird and a baguette.

CERN is reporting that the Large Hadron Collider has been shutdown yet again after a piece of bread fell into the outdoor machinery. That part of the LHC's circuit normally operates at 1.9 Kelvin, but, thanks to the bread bomb, rose to 8 Kelvin, nearly causing the LHC's niobium-titanium magnets to cease superconducting.
"


Hah! Oh, those birds and their rye humor!

Wheat oughta know better by now. I dough not know what the scientists will do from here.

They explained possible scenarios in that technobabble jargon, but all I could do was twist my head and say, "I baguette your pardon?"

Who could tell what's the matzo with them? They've got funding, so we can't really have too much sorrow or pita for them. If we were to criticize them otherwise, they'd accuse us of throwing scones in a glasshouse.

Well, far be it from me to mill around. Hell, when push comes to shove, I might even go against the grain in the event that they don't boule me over. All the anger over this could turn a friend into focaccia, but I don't care any more.

Next thing you know, bada-boom, bada-bing, there will be nothing left to discuss about the Large Hadron Collider. Really. What will be lefse to say? If we're luchi, we'll find some other area of science to turn our attention to.

And instead of attempting to lavash so much praise upon these supposed innovators, we'll...

...

... um...

...

... err...

...

... damn. I thought I was on a roll.

Now I got muffin.

That was me. After my future self told me about the singularity that swallows the earth once the nefarious contraption comes online, I tossed my sandwich into it.

Obligatory repeat 1 of 5, huh?

Oh well. It's a naan-issue now that TMLO is on the scene.

Thank you kindly, folks! :D


yogaFLAME: Obligatory repeat 1 of 5, huh?

Heh!

Didn't even notice that (not subby of either).

I reposted that in the original thread, since this one's likely to vanish - thanks for the heads-up!


Oh well. It's a naan-issue now that TMLO is on the scene.

Heh, touche!

If they shut down lunch, I have no idea what I'm gonna do.

They should quit loafing about and get to work.


Seriously, TMLO, how did you miss that one? :-)

Sounds like they tried to do it too cheap. If a passing bird can bust it's cooling system it's got some serious deficiencies.

What happens if two baguettes collide at near to light speed?

Did they borrow plans from the Death Star to build the LHC?

See?

Any way you slice it, we gotta spread this wordplay around... for butter or worse.

We'll have to call up the preserves or we'll be in a real jam.

I'm thinking of the best parts of Spider Robinson novels.
