...well done Peter Higgs...University of Edinburgh but born a Geordie..
Higgs Boson (God Particle)- the subatomic particle that explains why the Universe is how it is....
Anyone remember the joke that did the rounds.....
A Higgs boson walks into a church,
“We don't allow Higgs bosons in here!” shouts the priest.
The Higgs Boson says
“But without me, how can you have mass?”
....yeah it was a nerd joke...

The other nerd joke i heard was:

The barman says I'm sorry we don't serve neutrinos”.
A neutrino walks into a bar.

But then the Italians realised they'd messed their numbers up and so the joke doesn't work anymore.
