Week 19 of the Caption CERN Contest is now in the record books, though we’re sure we’ll be getting “safety update” emails from HR about the incident for the next several weeks. Thanks to everyone who threw caution to the wind and submitted a caption! This definitely is some sort of medical or emergency room at CERN. We’re still not quite clear as to why they need a full-sized skeleton though. We have to wonder how many lab pranks that poor former-human has been part of.
The Funnies:
- “The second test subject survived a bit better than the first, and if you’re wondering, the first test subject is standing in the corner”- [jakewisher125]
- “It soon became apparent that it had been a mistake to entrust site security to sharks with lasers.” -[Robb Smith]
- “What do you mean blink once if it hurts? Are you serious?” – [Rollyn01]
This week’s winner is [Will Frankian] with “Dr. Banks never tried eyeballing the electron beam alignment again”. Congrats [Will]! Enjoy your LightBlue Bean from The Hackaday Store!
Week 20
Anyone who’s worked on a major project, be it professional, personal, or for a contest like The Hackaday Prize, knows about marathon sessions. Those times when you put in your all and just push the project ahead until you drop. This scientist has definitely given his all and then some! He’s catching a few winks right under the blackboard where he presumably has been working. This image has no caption, though it’s attached to an album entitled Linac control room. None of the pictures seem to show much of a control room though. It seems that back in 1966, CERN’s photographer was a bit more interested in the sleeping scientists than the science itself!
What do you think is happening in this image? Can you make anything interesting out from the diagrams on the blackboard? Give it a shot! This week’s prize is a Stickvice from The Hackaday Store.
Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you’re commenting on the contest log, not on the contest itself. As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.
Good Luck!
This one https://cds.cern.ch/record/1836674 almost seems like a more fitting image
Calculating with a different perspective.
This photograph first lead researchers to the cause of the mysterious phenomena of scientists found unconcious at their work stations. Following up on this lead, they eventually mandated Dr. Javier Bolivar (pictured at left) from eating any more burritos.
(Yes, Fabio, I know this isn’t the proper location for submissions)
Glad I got a mention!
Stand back, I have science to do
Screw the Grand Unified Field Theory, I gotta rest up for the Buffy marathon!
Quantum Physic – the dream that stuff are made of.
No job too infinitesimal?
The higher-ups began to get suspicious of Dr. Carter’s extensive research into lucid dreaming.
CAPTION-CERN CONTEST… The Contest That Never Ends!
No, your butt does NOT look big in those pants.
Edit: Not from this angle, anyway.
