French Bread Shuts Down the Large Hadron Collider
Seriously, you can’t possibly make this stuff up.

Quote:
The bird dropped some bread on a section of outdoor machinery, eventually leading to significant over heating in parts of the accelerator. The LHC was not operational at the time of the incident, but the spike produced so much heat that had the beam been on, automatic failsafes would have shut down the machine.

LOL. Good one.

Seriously how big was this bread and how big was this bird. I mean its "outdoor" machinery. You would think the word "outdoor" would at least be a prerequisite for some sort of durability.

Good thing they didn't turn the beam on. Giant bread mutants would be roaming the country side.

The bird was obviously part of a terrorist sleeper cell, and was trained by the best.

And to your right the 5th wonder of the Universe, the largest piece of bread you'll ever see. No one knows who made it or how it got there.

Kinda sad on the deigners part. You have a multi-billion dollar piece of equipment that can be shutdown but a chunk of bread stuck in outdoor machinery. Now anyone who wants it down for good knows that all they have to do is train pigeons to drop bread on all the machinery lol.
