Wild, Funny Spoofs of Higgs Boson Go Viral on Internet

"Higgs boson," "Large Hadron Collider (LHC)" and "CERN" seem to have more or less become household words, even though it will take many patient sessions with a physicist to fully understand what is going on at CERN and what are the implications of a research of this large a scale.

"Groundbreaking" will be an understatement if the hugely anticipated discovery of Higgs boson really occurs. Speculations and wild theories about the elusive God Particle see no end, with regular reports as well as spoofs flooding the Internet. A Higgs boson cartoon posted at Abstruse Goose, which seemed to impart a mysterious super-heroic aura to the particle, went viral.  

The Higgs boson spoofs don't seem to be limited to a cartoon or two. Setting the physics of the progressing experiment aside, extensively plotted stories, open letters and even an LHC Rap are making the rounds of the Internet, amusing netizens.
