A Higgs boson-like particle might exist, if not the partical itself (proof still pending), which is pretty exciting, especially as the world did not disappear into a man made black hole.
On the same day, and quite disappointingly, the US government has announced that mermaids definitely do not exist.
Still leaves that whole zombie problem to contend with.


Don't worry they'll be bundled out at the next election in 2013.
ReplyDeleteSomething evil is lurking.. ;)

Excuse me. The US govt has NOT announced that mermaids definitely do not exist.
ReplyDeleteJust that there is no evidence that they do exist, is all.
There is also no evidence that they do not exist.
Why is that atheists always seem to have difficulty with the nuance of that?
Peter Higgs, now aged 83, predicted the existence of the boson particle way back in 1964. He shed tears yesterday at the (possible) discovery of the particle was announced.
ReplyDeleteBless him.
Meanwhile, Stephen Hawkins lost a $100 bet, silly bugger bet against finding the particle!
No such thing as mermaids? Piggs bottom!
ReplyDeletej
That should be "pig's bottom", J.
DeleteActually, shouldn't that be Higg's bottom?
DeleteFirstly, no, not at his age. Ewww.
DeleteSecondly, what happened to the gorilla; that Arab creeps me.
Firstly, it's not an Arab. It's a hippy.
DeleteSecondly, what would you like? Another photograph?
Zombies? Yep plenty of them to spy - the whole of the Labor Party for a start and round about 93.27% of the other mob.
ReplyDeleteThem scary bastards.
Not sue if the greens are zombies or not - could be a weird hybrid of a Tasmanian cucumber, or turnip.

Turnips, definitely turnips.
DeleteBig ones.
Pigs' arses to' punchuation @#&^

So you had all pigs in mind, while I was thinking only one pig was required.
DeleteI had mermaids in mind actually.
ReplyDeletej
Are there any goldfish in there?
DeleteNo, just mermaids.
DeleteI caught ten minutes of one of those Pirates of the Caribbean movies a while back and there was a bunch of pirates rowing a boat in a storm and the most gorgeous mermaid you could possibly imagine flashed up the side. Incredible singing voice. I suppose that was suss from the start. Anyway, I don't know how you can make fish scales sexy but they did it.
DeleteTurned out she was a demon with a face like a hammerhead shark with a twelve feet long sabre-toothed tongue that could live only on the beating hearts of still living men. Or something.
Bummer. I'm sure I've been on worse dates but I can't remember when.
Anyway I can identify with that. and yes Justin you are absolutely right. Mermaids exist. That's for sure.
They manage to make Johnny Depp with eyeliner look sexy, so why not fish scales?

You SURE that's a hippie?
Looks like an Arab to me.
Definitely an Arab.
An Arab? Wearing an obviously fake girly blonde wig sporting a pair of Georgio Armani "John Lennon" style sunglasses and pretty silk scarf headband while lamely affecting a butch macho image for the camera?
ReplyDeleteMy God Caz I think you've got it!
Pat Condell would say he's Saudi Arabian.

DeleteWell, YEAH - that's what gave it away.
