I love science, but also being a deeply re..(OOPHS, talking about that is FROUND UPON, IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT)..ous person, back when the confirmation of the existence of the Higg’s boson was all over the news earlier this year I had become mildly offended by all the talk of “The God Particle.” I wondered if this cheesy expression (and book title) shouldn’t be distasteful to both atheist and believer alike. I was told that it’s commonly observed that whenever famous astronomers or physicists give a public talk there are always so called “mystics” in attendance, so I raised the concern about the potential rise of particle worshiping Higg’s Bosonites.

Has anyone observed any signs of Bosonite-ism spreading across the planet? Oh my ___! What if they plan on assembling together on the day the Mayan calendar ends, and the Higg’s bosons, getting all puffed up from all the worship, decide to attend. Since the mass of each Higg’s boson is 126 times the mass of a proton, and since each boson is its own anti-particle…
