- Groxx 16y agoI'm sure someone would take offense to it being shaped like a pig, or even referred to as a pig, as the implications are still remotely offensive. Heck, to use the technique of some parents: some starving kid in Africa would love to eat that tofu. We, therefore, should clearly be offended at its waste.
- cabalamat 16y agoGas pipelines have little machines crawling inside them for inspection and maintenance purposes. These machines are called pigs. The LHC is basically a big pipe, so maybe it does have pigs inside it already.
- aberkowitz 16y agoObviously you're joking, but I cringe at the thought of a pig carcass anywhere near a 6 billion dollar (USD)[1] machine. [1] http://askanexpert.web.cern.ch/AskAnExpert/en/Accelerators/LHCgeneral-en.html#3 http://askanexpert.web.cern.ch/AskAnExpert/en/Accelerators/L...
