Geek Trifecta!
Geek trifecta! Hidden Legos, CERN, and Google Street View
The home of the Large Hadron Collider is also currently home -- at least on Google Street View -- to several hidden Legos. Find them and serious geek bragging rights are yours.
Oh, it's on: a geek trifecta for the ages. Legos. CERN. And Google Street View.
Earlier this week, Switzerland's CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, launched a global treasure hunt. Hidden all around the famous lab's computer center are more than 20 Lego minifigures -- "Hawaiian dancers, space aliens, gorillas," and more. Find three of them on the Google Street View version of CERN, and you earn a chance at some prizes. More importantly, huge greek cred. How to validate your finds? As Gizmodo put it, "screengrabs or it didn't happen."

I used to work at a data center so it was cool not only looking for the little guys but seeing the layout. I noticed that woman too. Going back to find some more.
