Celebrations as Higgs bosom is finally discovered

Why would parents name their baby girl "Higgs" ?
But nevertheless, it's something that happens to every teenybopper (eventually).

Fans of Aliens. Wanted to be able to say, "Somebody wake up Higgs" on a regular basis.

Damn. That was Hicks.

Two European scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for describing the Higgs boson,
a theoretical particle that may explain where mass comes from and advances
man’s understanding of how the world is constructed.

Peter Higgs, 84, a retired professor of theoretical physics at the University of Edinburgh,
and Francois Englert, 80, a retired professor at the Free University of Brussels,
will share the 8 million-krona ($1.25 million) prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
said today in Stockholm.

Higgs and his lover Englert, share the $1.25 million... after they dumped Boson's body in some dark cold moor.
