LHC, switerzland -- Thomas Hunt, a dyslexic LHC inten, last saturday caused 1.5 million USD of damage to the facility by colliding potatoes traveling near the speed of light into one another.
Apparantly, the accident occured when Hunt misread a sign reading "particle accelerator" and thought it said "potato accelerator". Hunt claims that it was an "honest mistake" and affirmed that "1.5 million isn't that much..." when questioned by reporters.
While some LHC employees were obviously amused at the mishap, proudly wearing "potato accelerator" t-shirts and playing "hot radioactive potato", a comical, and often dangerous, version of the popular kid's game, most were not. "Not only did Hunt's stupidity cost The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) over one million dollars, but it also endangered the lives of all on earth. Think of the catastrophe a 'potato hole' would create. It could destroy the known multiverse!" Head LHC Overseer, Paul McKimen said in a press release.
According to expert potato violation lawyer Doug Jeffrey, Hunt could receive up to 25 years in Swiss jail for 1 count of attempted multiverse destruction, 2 counts of plotting to accelerate potatoes, and 1 count of potato speeding.

He was also charged with conspiracy to vegetate the scientists. And they did NOT invent radioactive potato, it was played in the USSR during the cold war.
