THe Washington Post just reported this today, but details were sketchy. Did the weasel survive? In the past, the LHC has been shut down by pigeons and bits of bagel also, I seem to recall. Interesting.
the ^^above quoted^^ from (and more info) : http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...-down-world-s-most-powerful-particle-collider Mr. Brumfiel also stated and opined : "Nor are the problems exclusive to the LHC: In 2006, raccoons conducted a "coordinated" attack on a particle accelerator in Illinois. It is unclear whether the animals are trying to stop humanity from unlocking the secrets of the universe." There are quite a few interesting "Comments" in response to the article, including the following one by Jill Ion : "History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men...Weazilla!" - Blue Oyster Cult -
