Technically Speaking

Today I was reading a CNN.com news article on the largest scientific experiment in history, an atom collider being built in Eurpoe, when I encountered the following quote:

The machine, which has been called the largest scientific experiment in history, isn’t expected to begin test runs until August, and ramping up to full power could take months. But once it is working, it is expected to produce some startling findings. (source)

I get what the reporter was trying to say, but I thought the line was humerous, and thought you might enjoy it too.

BTW, the photo was taken by a Deseret Morning News photographer, Tom Smart. I blatently copied the file from the Deseret News website. I’m sure I violated their copyright. Sorry about that.
