    Higgs Boson

    I was going to put this in the Higgs thread, but I don't think the folks there would appreciate it. So...

    A Higgs boson walks into a Catholic church. The priest stops it at the door.

    "We don't allow your kind in here," he says.

    "But," says the Higgs, "without me, how can you have mass?"

    Ba-dump-bump.

    I think the last episodes of LEXX had a researcher who was searching for the Higgs. Im my mind, the Higgs is an overweight particle sitting on a couch controlling things with a remote.

    I'm just waiting for the Onion headline... I'm expecting something like "Higgs-Boson, new atomic particle, discovered, physicist fails to impress girl with discovery, begins work on Higgs-Boson bomb."
