Seg-Fault

Sunday evening I baked a batch of cookies. They were pretty good; I ate a few. I brought the remaining two dozen to CERN with me Monday morning, and perched the box on the edge of desk. I work in what is essential a cubicle sans walls, so this box of cookies should have been visible to everyone walking past in the hallway. I even put a handy sign by the cookies to indicate that people could take one.

Yet, Tuesday evening I took the above picture.

Does this surprise anyone else? Untouched cookies? In a very large building populated by physicists? Physicists known for demolishing free food at every opportunity? Seriously, some conferences post guards around the buffet table to make sure we don't "sample" it out of existence before the meal is supposed to start.
