# I've got loads of clothes on
vest top, long sleeved t shirt AND cardi, and that's just the top half. I hope I haven't got a cold coming on, although my assistant does. The LHC thing was funny this morning, when their spokeschap said 'well you can just see the excitement of the team here' as three people milled about an office behind him- one scowling, one yawning, one not even facing the camera. Excellent stuff.

*no change in picture*
"It seems the first test has begun successfully"
*man slightly shifts in chair at CERN*
"The excitement is palpable"
Bloke in studio: "It's hardly a shuttle launch, is it?"

# pfft, they're sane. completely and utterly sane. Here's an idea:
go down to a university, walk into a physics/maths dept and go look for phd students. Pick one at random and ask them what they do.
