The "Exhibition Preparation" section is, of course, particularly fascinating.
What will the LHC find?
October 1st, 2008
I'm admittedly somewhat late to the party here, and nowhere on this list will you find "taking a break for a few months because we broke it", but for all I know this is a nice rundown of the sorts of things we might expect to be discovered or confirmed by the LHC.

These photos are fantastic. I think it's their parchment colored backgrounds that really make every one of them seem to take place in a world with no sound at all. Apt titling.
Animals in Human Situations

Maybe the less said about this the better, other than it's sort of amazing.
10 Banned Albums
June 7th, 2008
Davis destroyed 10 banned records and then recorded them playing back. If the photographs correspond to the music playing, its hard to see how some of them still play as recognizably as they do, and for so long. The magic of technology!
