The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva will be shut off until spring 2009
while engineers probe a magnet failure.

The incident on 19 September caused a tonne of liquid helium to leak out
into the experiment's 27km-long tunnel.

Hmmm, on the 19th eh ?!? Methinks it was probably caused by seismic tremors
eminating from a northern Italian city ...
