Why did the neutrino go into the church?

He was looking for mass.

The colors are right, the order is right, the slight tilt to the right is right. That's a Microsoft logo, all right. And if you squint really hard, Atheist, you can just make out, underneath, the words "Windows ME." Not a good sign. Hope they installed the latest service pack.

In reply to The Bible makes it clear,

Q: Why did the neutrino cross into the fourth dimension?
A: To get to the other side of the universe ... (and to mess with Einstein's head.)

I did a little CSI work and zoomed in, and I'm not so sure if that's a Windows logo or not. I present it here:

These guys aren't crackpots, that's for sure. Of course, neither were Pons and Fleischmann (although they were careless).

If anyone is interested in the full CERN seminar, here's two hours of excruciating detail. A little technical, but it's clear these guys did their homework, anticipating most of the flaws and errors people might raise as possible explanations:

Not a lot of laughs, but at I think slide 23 they show a piece of computer equipment they used, and I spotted a tiny Microsoft Windows logo. Eureka!

The Bible makes it clear, Dick: no rest mass for the wicked!

More particle-physics fun: Bartender says, "We don't serve your kind here!" A tachyon walks into a bar.

This could be just the most awesome discovery ever... warp speed here we come! You should have seen my husband when I told him after work, he was over the moon excited and finally found something on the interwebs worth reading about, except for my daily reading of the Gawker headlines to him while we drink coffee before he hops on his bike to ride to work, those are always worthwhile, but mostly for the laugh factor.
