Rome vs. Geneva in the Battle of the Tours

If you've read the book or seen the movie Angels and Demons, you know some of the story takes place in Geneva and most of the story takes place in Rome. Apparently, both cities are trying to take advantage of the movie's release.

You can take an Angels and Demons tour of Rome, which will take you throughout the Eternal City visiting Renaissance masterpieces.

You can also take an Angels and Demons tour of CERN, which apparently takes you into a hole in the ground.

I give full props to CERN for recognizing and seizing this adventure in capitalism. But it's got to be tough pitting a particle accelerator that didn't work the first time around against the Ecstasy of St. Teresa.
