Real Scientist and Engineer Humor: @CERN does standup! #pauto #STEM

Jan. 1, 2000

Engineers and scientists at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, the Higgs Boson (the God particle), and the World Wide Web aren't always known for being really, really funny guys and gals. Tonight they plan on changing that.

From the Guardian.com:

"Despite the one about the Higgs boson that goes to church (you can't have mass without him) and the atom certain it lost an electron (it's positive), physics isn't exactly renowned for its jokes.

"However, the Cern laboratory in Switzerland is to host its first standup comedy night on Friday night with six research scientists taking to the Large Hadron Collider facility for a different kind of spectacle. The show will be broadcast online."

Be sure to watch the show: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=264966 at 2200 Zurich Time (1500 Chicago or 3 pm).
