Starting off with this tantalizing bit that promises and delivers nothing...
LHC: Higgs boson 'may have been glimpsed'
The most coveted prize in particle physics - the Higgs boson - may have been glimpsed, say researchers reporting at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva.
The particle is purported to be the means by which everything in the Universe obtains its mass.
Scientists say that two experiments at the LHC see hints of the Higgs at the same mass, fuelling huge excitement.
But the LHC does not yet have enough data to claim a discovery.

JFC sucking a popsicle, don't make front page headlines out of something that might or might not have happened. Fuck off, BBC.
Let us know when something actually happens, dickworms.

I didn't quite fall off my bike on ice this morning. I did say "Whoa!" though.

I was going to have an alcohol-free night.
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Careful, there. You could've wound up in the headlines.

Now that's real danger.

Still, if they find it, that's going to be really freaking awesome.
