> Each kart is turbo-boosted by 64 superconducting engines,” explains project leader Mario Idraulico<p>I guess we can now call you Mario 'Kart' Idraulico.<p>Oh wait.<p>Thank you CERN, that was a smart one.

Meh joke considering this was paid on public money.<p>Same as choosing to spend xxx,xxx USD to have .cern when using subdomains would have worked too (and caused less validation / compatibility issues).
