Here's a Point I'd like to gnaw on 'til it's Blunt and Useless

As many of you know who have slept with me, I don't like things that are scripted, other than sex.

Movies, a majority of books, Rap, Sit-Coms & Reality Shows are all scripted. So I don't have anything to do with them, except for The Big Bang Theory Monday nights at 8:00 p.m. (7:00 Central) on CBS. Oh yeah, it's totally scripted, but it's a haughty sort of low brow humor that one can take pride in. Plus Penny totally has nice boobs.

And so to my point: DiscoveryTV is good dadgum good watchin'.

Science is looking for the "God Particle", also called the Higgs Boson. Proving it's existence will shore up an already fairly stable Standard Model. One of the postulates of the Standard Model is that all matter is made up of 12 building blocks:
six quarks and six leptons.

The quarks are the 'up quark', the 'down quark', the 'charm quark', the 'strange quark', the 'top quark' and the 'bottom quark'.

The six leptons are the 'electron', the 'electron-neutrino', the 'muon', the 'muon-neutrino', the 'tau' and the 'tau-neutrino'.

So what, you ask? Just this: not one of them is mentioned, or even hinted at, in ANY religious writings existing prior to 1945.

Most people are more comfortable looking up at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for scientific guidance, or whatever it's Muslim/Buddhist/Hindu/TomCruiseian equivalent would be.

And why would a Ghawd create Black Holes and not tell anyone about them? You think He's pissed now that we figured out that every galaxy has one at its center?

Anyway, tune in with me next Monday night at 8:00 p.m./7:00 Central and pretend to pass me chips and an Old Milwaukee and I'll pretend to pass gas.

The thing is that if scientists eventually find evidence of a Higgs-Boson particle, then they'll be saying, "Yeah. So now what?"

Cause that's how awesome a Higgs-Boson particle might be.

Oh sure, it would exist everywhere like the ooze of the universe, but really, it just doesn't have the exciting clout of the electron or the boring but important gravity of a neutron for all practicality.

I think they should instead spend their time looking for the Poobomber-Bing-Crosby particle which if found, would explain everything in the universe because it's just that awesome.

Its counteracting particle which would exist only in alternate dimensions and serve to disrupt the PBC particle would naturally be called the BonJovicle.

As an aside, my word verification is TFGIL, which of course stands for Thank F*cking God It's Legumes.

I dig what you're sayin', bro' but you should know, the ladies don't like when you get too scientific about things. That's no way to give away your V Card. What you need to do is drop the intelligent stuff and buy them a few cocktails (umbrellas optional) and talk about shoes for an hour. I guarantee you a fun filled night with a water bed.

Dig?

Tony, I'm too married for any of that kind of fun.
