Thought this was hilarious, had to share!!

 Quote:
A bird dropped a baguette on some outdoor electrical equipment at the Large Hadron Collider on Tuesday, interrupting the cooling system that chills two sectors of the collider. CERN issued a statement today saying that the incident was similar to a power outage: failsafe systems came on, the cause was identified, and the two sectors are now back to normal operating temperatures.

According to the statement, the bird escaped unharmed but lost its bread.

"Open baguette claws. Baguette away!" This is avian terrorism! Isn't this a "No Fly Zone"???

Perhaps the bird was Superbird, saving the planet by filling an emerging black hole created by the LHC???

I'm afraid the CERN scientists don't know bird droppings.

French bird, French bread... figures.

if it's that easy to cause a problem, what's to stop a person causing havoc?!

Yea, it sounds like anybody with a bird brain can shut down the LHC.

Now I'm worried that such emergency shutdowns could cause a white hole which might suck in all darkness and emit enough light to melt the entire Universe. :-)
