Guest posiedon Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Spoted this in "New Scientist"THE switch-on of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, on 10 September generated a large number of stories on the internet. Nigel Bailey points us to one of the more surprising of these - the announcement on Ebay of the successful sale of an LHC constructed in a garden in Voe, the Shetland Islands, UK.Link to the E-Bay page.

Ghostrider Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 ^^ If they didn't pay him, he'll have to take a hit in the wallet for the £153.30 selling fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 ^^ In theory yes, but knowing ebay I suspect that once they'd ascertained that the listing was a farce/joke they'd not be feeling very charitable, claim it infringed one of their numerous rules, and delete it, but still leave the fees standing on the guy's account.
