Quote:
"It would appear that any time-traveling quantum bird sent by the Higgs boson was unable to disrupt yesterday's run."

Quote:
"The most recent mishap involved a bird dropping bread into an electrical transformer. All of this has caused some to speculate that the Higgs boson—the elusive particle that is the basis of mass—is actually causing these failures to occur from the future. "
