CERN confirms new particle.

[Gambit]

I think the name "Priest Particle" is vastly superior to the actual one. I'm surprised it wasn't the one used, especially given scientists' usual penchant for such jokes.

Incidentally, I got this from the FB wall of an old schoolfriend turned Church spokesman:

"Is the Higgs Bosun called the God particle because scientists really believe it exists and can see its work but can't prove it conclusively?"

prompting a "you are soooo very clever. How do you think these up? I'm well impressed" from an easily-pleased follower.

I replied thuswise:

"More like physicist Leon Lederman (who coined the name) was trolling."

I expect the replies to reach critical mass in very short order.

I hope you are going to screencap the shit out of said replies.
