Splitting Bicycles at the Atomic Level


I was recently spying on CERN's Large Hadron Collider labs using Google Earth, when I spotted the above picture; taken by user golabek on location near CERN's headquarters. The photo is of what appears to be an ordinary bike store. However, upon closer inspection you will notice that there is indeed a bicycle protruding from opposite corners of the structure. Whether this is the result of an experiment gone bad, faulty physics, or the practice of mad science is as of yet unknown. CardiganLabs has begun reverse engineering the conditions of this eventuality in an effort to reproduce these findings. Full reports from the Science Patrol team will be transmitted as they occur.

6° 03'10 E

Kinda "Hard Rock Cafe"-esque, with a bike instead of a Cadillac.
