They've been looking for this thing for awhile... I really hope it wasn't a wasted effort! If they do find it though, things could get interesting!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Wikipedia wrote:The Higgs boson is a hypothetical massive elementary particle that is predicted to exist by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The Higgs boson plays a crucial role in the Higgs mechanism responsible for breaking the electroweak symmetry of the Standard Model. If shown to exist, it would help explain why other elementary particles have mass.
