LMAO at the thought of someone walking into my local betting office and asking for £40 on finding the Higgs boson !

-You what, mate ?
-The Higgs boson ?
-The what ? Is that a horse ? When's it running ?
-No ! The Higgs boson ! You know ?! Everyone knows its the hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle predicted to exist by the Standard Model of particle physics.
-You 'avin' a laugh ?
-No ! I really want to bet on the Higgs boson.
-Tell you what mate. I'll take your £40 *snatch*. Now piss off out my shop before I set the dogs on you. Bloody wierdo.

Titan will almost certainly have some kind of microbiale life because of the presence of ice which is in a constant state of flux due to massive amount of volcanic eruptions. Much like the early stages of life on earth in many ways.

According to this article these things have to be done by 2010... and I as far as I know NASA don't have any plans to launch a probe to Titan in the near future.

remember that before year 2000 you were able to be on whether the earth would go under or not at the bell of 2k.... people need to be lobotomized tbh
