Here at Aspectus PR we make no secret of being passionate about our clients’ industries. In some cases, this manifests itself in what can only be described as full-blown geekery, so you can imagine our excitement when industry developments hit the main news agenda. The engineering team was testing the laws of gravity with its edge-of-the seat position yesterday as the world waited for the announcement from CERN.
The only thing we like more than an excuse to indulge our inner geek is ropey humour. In this case the two have collided (no pun intended…well maybe only a little bit). Twitter community, we thank you. Here are some of our favourites – let us know which ones you’ve enjoyed!
Now the Higgs is confirmed, it’s more fun to say you want to “reduce your interactions with the Higgs field” than “lose weight.”

Overheard on the newsdesk: “I don’t care what the Higgs boson headline is, just make sure we spell Hadron correctly.”

At the end of the #higgs announcement, one of the CERN team will pause, nonchalantly say “oh, one more thing”, then calmly teleport away.

My bosons bring all the quarks to the yard, And they’re like, it’s better than charmed, I could attract, but I have no charge #Higgs

Now they’ve sorted this Higgs boson lark and they didn’t accidentally end time, we should be allowed to go round the collider in bobsleighs.

Great. Found the Higgs Boson, lost Robin Van Persie. The universe balances itself out yet again.

Joey Essex @JoeyEssex_ Big up the science bods,that’s sick news about the God Particle!Know how you feel after my day in the lab creating Surf Summer D’reem
