If you know what they are looking for and why they are looking here (and not ... let's say there), leave a comment.

My second guess is CERN, on the Franco-Swuisse border near Geneva. They don't have Willy the Wildcat, but they appear to have an airport.
And I have to agree, the sex at Northwestern sucks.

I think they're looking for Mr. Goodbar.

Is he a NU alumni?

This is NOT NU!

I'm not sure about Mr. Goodbar, but Charlton Heston attended Northwestern. I think he once made public comments about the sex there. It went something like this: "get your stinkin paws off me you damn dirty Ape"

The lake on the right edge of the image is Lake Geneva, not Lake Michigan. So many people confuse the two.

They are in Geneva because they are looking for the Least Habitable Campus, and it surely isn't in Evanston.

Paul Lynde also attended Northwestern, but they don't like to talk about it since that Homecoming incident.

This is the only connection I could find between the Higgs Boson and Northwestern ... I bet that they will find neither at the LHC.
