gnarlouse: Happy April Fools Day!

voidUpdate: 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

Noe2097: > Each kart is turbo-boosted by 64 superconducting engines,” explains project leader Mario IdraulicoI guess we can now call you Mario 'Kart' Idraulico.Oh wait.Thank you CERN, that was a smart one.

kakacik: 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

tgsovlerkhgsel: CTRL+F "safety and health"

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

fnands: I always look forward to CERN's April fools jokes!

koolala: high temperature super conductors my beloved

rvnx: 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).

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

edwcross: Fratello. Must be a bro.

lloydatkinson: I can't believe people are still doing this

rbanffy: I really miss Think Geek :-(

fnands: They got the intern to write a funny post. Probably took them an hour and it drums up a bit of good press for the Hi-Lumi LHC.Money well spent if you ask me.

steve1977: As a tax payer of one of the member states, I approve of this joke.

PunchyHamster: We need followup post exactly 365 days later describing first karting accident inside CERN
