From Phys.org (AFP):

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has launched an investigation into a video filmed at night on its Geneva campus depicting a mock ritual human sacrifice, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The bizarre video which has circulated online for days shows several individuals in black cloaks gathering in a main square at Europe's top physics lab, in what appears to be a re-enactment of an occult ceremony.

The video includes the staged "stabbing" of a woman.

[...] "CERN does not condone this type of spoof, which can give rise to misunderstandings about the scientific nature of our work,"

Publish or perish ... it seems like some may take things too far.

Also at The Guardian.

    A joke is a joke. As others have said, so what.

    For more hilarious jokes Youtube search Calling in sick to places you don't even work at. These things are hilarious, especially if it's an employer that's a complete jerk that doesn't even realize it's a prank call.

    "I'm new, I just got hired. I can't come to work tomorrow morning because my alarm clock isn't working"

    or

    "I don't want to come to work tomorrow because it's a nice day to go fishing. I'm new, I just got hired".

    This one manager flipped out, she asked the prank caller what department he works in. He said the electronics department. Then she flipped out about how she is the manager of that department and if he doesn't show up it will be very very bad for him. She was angry as heck talking about what could happen if he doesn't show, lol, the whole time not even realizing it's a prank call.

    I don't want to link to any of them because it might upset people here but you can youtube search them.
