OP134. Gettin' Higgy with it
Though the general public may doze on CERN's search for new particles goes on Their scientist squadrons Are all getting hadrons Because they've discovered a boson.
Outstanding one, Dave!! I love the title but must admit I read the limerick 4-5 times trying to find some reason you did it in red...
I finally found it, though! Your anagram on 'hardons' eluded me for a good 5 minutes. (I guess I needed to be in the accelerated class.) But if you'd posted it in black I'd have never discovered that great pun!
I salute you for working in all the nifty science stuff. And thanks to google, I got to lern about CERN. Keep 'em coming...
The hadron is actually a class of subatomic particles. The main particle accelerator there is called the Large Hadron Collider. Kinda easy to make a dirty joke about, or in this case, a dirty limerick. Except hadron wasn't an easy word to rhyme.
Also, there's the similarity of the word "boson" to "bosom". I got the inspiration from a meme that said "your bosons are giving me a hadron."
You know how horny a nerdy guy gets when he sees boobies...
Fears that experiments with the Large Hadron Collider could result in the destruction of the Earth have become a matter (or is it an antimatter?) of con-CERN. There are actually some idiot pro-Armageddon zealots who are rooting for this to happen by means of the unpredicted discovery of a new “See-God particle.”
And finally, the beer preferred by those CERN nerds is Wolfgang Pauli Girl. They drink it only in quarks and to the exclusion, principally, of all others.
