Large Hadron Collider downed by small baguette
Alrah
The 'God Machine', the Large Hadron Collider has been sabotaged again,
this time by a chunk of baguette dropped by a bird.
The LHC, which was switched on last year to howls of protest that it
would create a black hole, slams atoms together to attempt to discover
the secrets of the origin of the Universe.
However the secrets were delayed as it broke down within days of
starting up last year.
And just when scientists thought they could get it up and running
again it has been sabotaged by a baguette.
Scientists looking into the failure of a cryogenic cooling plant found
a piece of crusty bread had paralysed a high voltage installation
powering the cooling unit.
The problem has caused the LHC to increase in temperature by 6C above
its normal -238C.
A spokesman for CERN told The Times: "Nobody knows how it got there.
The best guess is that it was dropped by a bird, either that or it was
thrown out of a passing aeroplane.
"Obviously this was slightly surprising. Within the team there was
some amusement once they had relaxed after initial concerns."
The spokesman said it could take days to repair the bread damage.

This is magick group, you blinking idiot.
Magicians do not care what those superstitious and ignorant
primitives are doing with their silly and destructive toys.
No, I will not be reading any replies from this jerk or "Tom",
who is probably his sockpuppet.

What? Sid actually said something relevant that makes sense??

Oh, never mind. It's still the same old Sid.

Much better to live in that private universe inside your own head then, Sid.
If you peek at the outside world, it looks like it's a remake of The Invasion
of the Body Snatchers.

And all this time Sid's been telling us that this is a blinking idiot
group. I guess he's changed his mind.

Well, we have it on good authority (Sid's) that he is not concerned
with such things. And yet, here he is, yet again.

It won't be long before Sid is all alone in the universe, having
excluded everyone else.
