I've got a couple more shite science jokes if it's worth carrying on...

# LHC FTW.

# eh?
I've managed to crack a lot of the abbreviations, but 'ftw' has me stumped. I'm worried the 'TW' stands for 'thread waste'.
I would be sad... :(

# FTW = For The Win
= "I think this is an excellent idea/concept/whatever".

Stupid expression.

# Thanks!
I was worried it was 'f***ing thread waste' and that people were frantically hitting the 'ignore' button.
Living in Switzerland makes you paranoid...

# I get some of those.
It's worse in science, though - all acronyms have to spell out something no matter how lame.
My job is to run the SQUID - Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (or a bloody strong magnet that gets really cold).

# Sounds ace
Really involves looking at a big grey box with frozen water vapour coming out of it.

# We did have 50 litres of liquid nitrogen and 25 liters of helium let go.
Like a huge, freezing fountain. that was fun, especially when the still-running electronics were encased in ice. Quite dodgy trying to dry it up with all that voltage running...

# I will get round to your suggestion
I've got a couple of sketches on the desk...

# And by coincidence
Just seen an ep of CSI:NY which featured a high-powered laser beam which sliced the top of someone's head off...

ESRF and DESY. ESRF had double locks and safety alarms whereas DESY has a lead flap.

Woo

# Doesn't Grenoble have those dodgy bits
where the safety notice says not to stand, but the keep walking through that area?
And why doesn't radiation make a cool noise?

# yeah they do!
And I was sad to not hear any noise, although I did get to see an Italian researcher pinch French serving girl on the arse and get slapped one breakfast. That was my highlight of the time spent there. Can't believe how shit it was!
