The news from CERN is that the large Hadron Collider is set to restart (yes, again!) around Feb. 20. → source.

As I was looking for pictures of the collider, I found this photo in front of CERN facility.

I recognized that statue in the background, but couldn’t quite place it at first.  Google to the rescue! It’s the statue of Shiva, which happens to be a destructive deity. In other words, Shiva, God of destruction, is prominently placed and displayed outside of CERN.

Brilliant! I feel better already. No wonder the damn thing doesn’t work.
