Forget the Higgs Boson, Josh has bigger fish to fry.

Ah! Satire at its finest.
Superb!
Next the Giss particle, which comes in at 165Gev. No wait, after adjustments 155. No wait….
The catastrophe particle is expected to be one of that class of particles called ‘drone-on’s.
Is that anything like the Mann blovion? Enquiring minds, and all that…
“Hurry up, Boson! It’s Sunday morning and you should be in church.”
“No rush, they can’t have mass without me.”
Sorry, all!
And the Gleick Boson? How many GeV is that. I have heard it’s very elusive…..
I, for one, look forward to the discovery of the Borenstein bozon, the cosmic particle that in recent years has been responsible for reducing the IQ of journalists, academics, scientists, and politicians all around the world to levels even worse than we thought.
The Catastrophe Particle? Excellent, I wish I would have thought of that.
“I am interested in making up a good case for distortion, as I am coming to believe it is the only way to make people see.” (— Flannery O’Connor in my email today, what a coincidence.)
The Biggs Fibber also has applications in optics, as it bends incoming light from distant and nearby objects we see, thus confirming what we say is there, which makes everything more clear.
ROTFLMAO, the comment will give Josh even more inspiration. I really like th the Borenstein bozon…
Thanks for the laughs guys
1.21 Gev?
I am waiting for the discovery of the Data Archivion. I seriously doubt it will ever be found, which is sad, because in many ways it’s like the Higgs Boson. It’s responsible for everything we see in Climate Science but no one has yet seen it. We only have indirect observations which hint of its existence.

If it ever is found perhaps it will lead us to the Grains of Truth concerning CAGW?
I think Doomsday-Particle is a better name. When it hits a brain (no, not a brane, a brain ) , the amount of dark matter inside the brain will increase.
Dark Matter tends to feed on dark ideas. Doomsday ideas. There will be a population bomb. The planet has a fever. It will cook. There will be malaria everywhere. Animals shrink. Ice melts. It will rain a lot. It will be droughts. Snow, hurricanes, you name it.
The only way to cure it, is to buy Dark Credits. I have opened up the only legal transaction-website for it, world wide. The World Wide Dark Credit bank. WWDC. Hurry up and buy before it is too late!
Is the study of all these particles a branch of Epoxology? Something has to holding them together.
(I forget who coined the term but, kudos.)
it takes 1 Gleick Event (GeV) to create 100 gazillion Hiroshima units. Or is it the other way around? Enviro-math is so complex. I suggest the One GeV known was created by several Manhattens 🙂
As a standard model particle, the catastrophe particle is characterized by a number of standard-model properties. It is full spin, lacks charm and, unlike single color quarks, is both red and green.
Mannian Matter. If it proves him wrong, it doesn’t matter.
so, does the Higgs Bosun have a Higgs Bosun Mate?
@nuclearcannoli
Once the “Data Archivion” is discovered and it collides with the “Castastrophie Particle” aka “Biggs Fibber”, this will be the end of the world as they (CAGW scientists) know it. I’m predicting (fingers crossed) sometime in late December of this year. Hmmm…… maybe the Mayans had it figured out all along 🙂
Not a particle per se, but the molecules of the mineral called McKibbenite makes the minds of AGW NGO leaders forget they are funded by the likes of Royal Dutch Shell and BP. It’s powerful stuff.
Here’s an idea for a cartoon that I think is awfully clever–and that I hope someone draws. (It’s an improved version of something I posted a few months ago.)
A cartoon of a quack doctor’s office. Mr. Globe is standing by while a wacky, weird-beard Far Side doc squints at an oral thermometer under a magnifying glass that is (unbeknownst to him) focusing the rays (shown in the cartoon) from a head-mounted lamp onto the thermometer’s bulb, while saying, “You have a fever.” On the shelf (or on Mr. Globe’s head) is an ice pack with a price tag of $1 trillion.
Here’s another cartoon idea I hope someone draws:
On an outdoor wall or billboard is a poster of Patchauri in a red-and-black Devil’s costume, including a tight-fitting hood over his head with horns, Patchy’s mephistopholean beard, a pitchfork, flames in the background, and an evil grin. He’s pointing at the viewer like Lord Kitchner, above the caption, “YOU won’t like it HOT! BUY indulgences NOW!”
Alongside the poster is one of Josh’s polar bears drinking a Coke with one hand while holding his other hand over his snout in an unsuccessful attempt to stifle a guffaw.
This came to mind quickly for no apparent reason.
Oldie, but goodie 🙂
