We're a little concerned that, after being told the Large Hadron Collider was ready to roll, and that God wasn't stopping it , once again it is not working. This time because a bird has dropped a piece of baguette in the cooling machinery. Even more concerned that apparently it took members of the public to notify the scientists responsible for the time-bomb machine. What were those scientists doing when they should have been looking out for overheating hadrons? Our suspicion is that they were probably feeding the birds.
Or alternatively - given his association with ravens - perhaps what they've actually built is a Large Odin Collider? No wonder his Norseness would get upset and stop the machine working. After all, having been injected into the Collider and whizzed around at speeds near to the speed of light, any deity's going to be feeling a bit thor.
But back to the bird strike. Naturally, with all those French scientists around, it was going to be a bit of baguette - but if they whizzed it once round would they be able to get it warmed up? Have we actually funded the Large Hadron Toaster?
I'm looking forward to the Large Hadron Kaleidoscope. I think Argos are doing one for Christmas.
