Confession: I get bosons and fermions mixed up.

Okay everyone, gird your loins. Tomorrow's the day they turn on the Large Hadron Collector. And you know what that means! The Higgs boson! Micro black holes! Possible other dimensions! Strangelets!

Or, you know, nothing. Meaning, nothing you or I can understand anyway. But still, my heart trembles at the prospect of getting closer to figuring out the Standard Model. Even though I don't know, um, what it means, exactly.

Mmmm... physics. Can't you just smell it in the air?*

*No.
