    As Alumni, the tables outside R1 are prime for getting ideas, with some help from fermented barley, especially after work during Summertime.

  > Each kart is turbo-boosted by 64 superconducting engines,” explains project leader Mario Idraulico

  I guess we can now call you Mario 'Kart' Idraulico.

  Oh wait.

  Thank you CERN, that was a smart one.

  Meh joke considering this was paid on public money.

  Same as choosing to spend xxx,xxx USD to have .cern when using subdomains would have worked too (and caused less validation / compatibility issues).

  Is this an april fools joke? The title image looks so over-the-top that I really can't tell if it's a joke or not

    No of course not, they have Mario guys running around in karts doing maintenance of hyper complex system with wrenches. No physics can resist Mario's wrench, thats how we move humanity forward

      There is a Luigi on the team as well. How it can't be true?
