Remember CERN from The Da Vinci Code? And their mega-project the Large Hadron Collider(previously mentioned here?)

Good advice for all of us! Don't drink and lower heavy machinery into the particle physicists' orbed abyss. "If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
