Looks like they can't take a trick at CERN....Fowl Play
Is it just me, or is it a concern that a bird can just drop its lunch on a vital link in the power circuit of a critical system? What, don't they have ventilated cabinets or cages?
What next, wooden clogs being found inside the detector?????
What's going to happen is this...one day, a pigeon is going to somehow find its way into the main target chamber of the LHC and they'll realise it's there just as it's too late. Then, after years of fruitless searching, the frazzled bird will become the "toast" of the physics world because the particles scattered off its body will be higgs bosons, tachyons, neutral electrons, sparticles and everything else they've ever looked for or theorised about. It'll be the called the PoE..."Pigeon of Everything"

Just get some rest Carl...exams must have been hell.

You are kidding, they spend all that money and can't handle a bit of bird ****

Mate, you'd be surprised what can stop a piece of high technology. Everyone was agast when they first turned the switch and it didn't work straight off. I'd have been more surprised if it did. How many mission-critical pieces are there on that thing? It's in the many many millions.
Cheeky Swiss owls and their French loaves and baguettes!
Carl, the PoE (LOL) points perhaps toward our own evolution - the Higgs boson being scattered from the fowl must surely be a swirly-time-warp-vortexy thing indicating that we evolved from birds, (tweet tweet) and that is why twitter is so popular (you can't take the twit out of twitter)!
Actually Carl, now I slept on it I noticed there is no time component in your equation. What if it's a poop coming from the future? A warning to us not to push it any further? Huh?
LHC "Fowled" Up!!!
Oh no.
Huh?
