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.

Agreed. Nobody got hurt, so who gives a fiddle?
There are always these kinds of capers going on. I knew a bunch of wanna-be secret society types back at my Uni that used to sneak into the planetarium in the dead of night and carry on in robes and wigs. Wonder what happened to those guys.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
