I just tried googling for a phrase someone quoted from Angels & Demons that made me giggle:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22cern%20has%20a%20particle%20accelerator%22

And it turns out there's a handy Russian site that has the whole text online! This seems somewhat legally dubious, and you can now admire how cleverly I avoided linking to this questionable site!

Er, anyway: Just looking through it at random, I find gems like:

> Langdon did a double take. He remembered the CERN driver saying something about a huge machine buried in the earth. But—

> "It is over eight kilometers in diameter… and twenty-seven kilometers long."
