If you guys like this stuff and humor, please read this book. Probably the best/funniest book I've ever read. I love the footnotes in it. Genius.
I seriously beg you to read this book. So awesome and the second one is just as good.

The elusive "God particle" has become the most sought-after particle in modern science. Its discovery would be proof of an invisible energy field that fills the vacuum of space, and excitement in the scientific community is at fever pitch.
Peter Higgs, the Edinburgh University physicist who proposed the idea of the particle in 1964, is flying in to Geneva, as are two other men who published similar theories at around the same time: François Englert, professor emeritus at the Free University of Brussels (ULB) in Belgium, and Tom Kibble, professor emeritus at Imperial College London.
There have been rumours, speculation, and, last night, even an apparent leak from the laboratory when a video announcing the discovery of a new particle was accidentally posted on its website.
The Guardian's Ian Sample has flown to Geneva and I'll be live-blogging this potentially historic morning on this page.
7.38am: Now, two video links for your viewing pleasure.
This one is to Cern's own live stream from where the scientific session is due to start at 9am local time (8am British time) - and subsequent press conference - will be held
