Somehow, this is the most frightening thing I've read about the LHC... that it will prompt a slew of nerdish pajama parties. I can picture 50 or so scientists, all wearing PJs reminiscent of that poor kid in A Christmas Story, and thinking they're cool. [shudder]
I know one of the safety officers who works at FNAL, and he has pyjamas with the trefoil radiation symbol all over them. Perfect outfit for such a gathering.
