I have discovered the higs boson?? its in my tube of toothpaste in the bathroom,there is no other explanation.
My tube was running out about 3 months ago so I invested in one of those Pump Action jobs.I have not had to take the seal off it as every day when I press the old tube more comes out.Not being a person who can waste anything I have to keep using it. Perhaps there is an emergency stash or a secret built in chamber however the most likely explanation is the Higs Boson has got in and is making toothpaste while I sleep.
I really want to use my Super Pump Action Job

Crikey agile have you tried the same technique on a wine bottle?

Hi Lorna,
what a ripping idea,why didnt I think of that,what would happen if I swallowed this Higs Boson I might finish up with Triplits or something worse.
I am presently filtering the dregs of my tooth paste into some empty guinness bottles and then i am off down to the outdoor for some of my favourite Red Biddy,but then I will have to drink it all to get the bottles empty.

At last, an application for theoretical physics. grin

agile You sound like a very resourceful person to me, just what we need on Gransnet grin

I think we have the germ of something magnificent here! Patent it, quick! grin

Galen Sun 08-Dec-13 21:28:56

And assign the patent GN inc!

You saw heard of it first on GN. It's akin to being present at the Big Bang sunshine

confused am I missing something here? I feel like I am being left out in the playground!!! sad What on earth is a higs boson????

Flowerofthewest Sun 08-Dec-13 22:41:15

OK Got it, I now know what Higgs Boson is. I am still looking in my empty No.7 tubes for it.

Errrrrr folks! you really don't understand the Higgs Boson theory do you?!LOL [grin

Having listened to Brian Cox on the Infinite Monkey Cage, and a PhD research scientist at Joddrell Bank explaining it to children, the notion of particles gathering mass due to the Higgs Boson is much easier to grasp, and I am content to believe it's busying around in my make-up bag, extending the life of my expensive face cream! grin

I think the Higgs Boson is lurking by my skirtings producing clumps of cat hair. The cats would be bald if it was all coming from them!

annodomini Sun 15-Dec-13 22:30:37

Of course we do, rosesarered! Don't you?

It's very easy actually, easier than believing in the tooth fairy, but, slightly harder than Father Christmas.

But you get real money from the tooth fairy Galen how can she not be real? tchconfused
