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...

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.

I hate this Viral marketing for 2012.

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!

Large Hadron Collider shut down. Again. Due to French bread


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?

Nothing better than a whole batch of freshly-baked puns.

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

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

Why have I never had TMLO on my favourites? Corrected that gaffe!

For some reason, I'm thinking of Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown and Don't Look Back!

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

French bread?

What a pain.

Au, that was bad.

Thank ya kindly, much obliged!

Charlie Brown screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" as the LHC is taken out by a chunk of bread... now THAT'S the mental image of the night...

At yeast we can try.

I didn't read this article, but it specifically said in the other article that while it did cause a minor problem that part wasn't turned on and will not effect the official startup next month.

So... fail.

/But the reason there's so many 'freak' accidents is because it's FREAKING ENOURMOUSLY HUGE and is super-delicate.

jake3988: So... fail.


Fark kneads threads like this.

Large Hadron Collider shut down. Again. Due to French bread FROM THE FUTURE.

/Fixed that for subby

That bird is from the future

Of course!

We can't be leaven this issue alone, now.

Doesnt french bread always resemble a hardon?

That's an impressive Rule 34 implementation right there.

Yay! More LHC sabotaged by the future! I love these.

Looking for the elusive crouton particle, I imagine.

Second. TMLO - are you still doing theater?

Yuppers. I don't know who did it, completely forgot but it has to live on in every LHC thread now. My apologies to the Farker who created it, but it just belongs.... :)

veryequiped: Do you ever get the impression that they are just telling the public this to curb public fears, but instead will continue the experiment anyways?

I say that because all the excuses are so stupidly ridiculous you want to believe it.

The previous collider to exist in the biggest tunnel at CERN, called LEP2, had its beams blocked by a pair of beer bottles jammed into the beamline.

In other words, shiat happens.

You know, I kinda wish that 2012 was the end of the world thanks to the LHC creating a black hole that ended up swallowing the Earth. I would laugh.
