I agree, Mark. Why waste precious time on all that silly science stuff?

The funny thing is that the God particle name came about because the author of the book wanted to call it The Goddamn Particle. His editor or publisher changed it.

I don't know if it's so much funny as sad that the author wanted to call it that in the first place in addition to being too wussy to stick to his guns.

Calling it the Goddamn Particle could have been enough to start a war. Wise move.
