Abstruse Goose, one of my favorite web-comics, has an open letter to the Higgs boson:
This is a great science-based comic strip – not only is it funny, but it’s the first time I’ve been represented as a comic super-hero.
Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.

is this suppose to sound like Neo at the end of the first matrix movie, because it is very similar

Very Neoish indeed! I thought the samething; if CERN is Neo, and the Higgs is the Matrix. . . Who in the hell is Morpheus! ! !

First paragraph is from The Matrix, the last from Ocean’s 11. I don’t recognize the second paragraph.

Being at CERN right now & hearing the latest from the Fermilab Publicity Department this is simply hilarious!

There’s no running and hiding, you probably find he’s been talking to everyone for the last 10 years.

Here’s a song about the Higgs, called:
You’re My Higgs (High Energy Love Song)

Poor little Higgs. Look at how scared he is – and all he wants is to be left alone!
You scientists keep your grubby little particle accelerators off of Higgs!
Besides, you know what will happen if you do find the Higgs Boson: You will end up ripping open a hole in the fabrice of spacetime in the process and horrible creatures of immense power and destruction will be unleashed upon our Universe.
Oh wait – we already had that for the last eight years, never mind.

[...] I have found this very nice piece of humor about Higgs particle at Cosmic Variance (see here). This text is a combination of quotes from famous movies. E.g., the last paragraph is taken from [...]

I missed the America’s Most Wanted episode for this one. I want to see John Walsh call him names. Did he call Higgs a slimeball?
