We should start a pool on what the cause of the next delay will be. My money is on insect infestation or the arrest of important researchers/engineers.
What about the latter because of the former? A researcher getting arresed for filling the tunnel with bees?
One thing you could do is make a probability estimate now and see how well calibrated you are :-)

I actually think insect infestation or delay caused by criminal arrest are so unlikely that I would estimate them at a 0% probability on prediction book.
Lol. My facetious suggestions are always taken so seriously.
Well, I know your arrest is alluding to the terrorism arrest recently: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33279833/ns/world_news-terrorism
But when did the LHC have insect issues?
Those pesky ants will go vast distances for a nice tasty bit of bread. Especially if the next bird drops a jam croissant.
I have this idea for a tower defense like game where you have to defend the LHC from belligerent pastries. Fruitcake would be the final boss.
Is anyone here proficient with Flash?
Maybe he was thinking about the giant mutant fire-ants Alice was going to infest the SSC with in Cramer's "Einstein's Bridge".
