It's coming up to that time of year when the parasite bankers, and many others get their obscene bonuses.
This year there is a new one on offer called the Higgs Bonus. You get it for proving that the smallest most insignificant action you have undertaken is actually the catalyst to the success of
an entire structure.
It is naturally very difficult to prove that simply (for example) moving a wastepaper basket with the edge of your foot one day caused the entire global airline industry to use 0.5% less fuel, but given the right group of scientific experts and enough computing power, the Higgs Bonus could be yours.

The newsreader on BBC Radio4 this afternoon was
explaining how they'd found the first evidence for
the existence of the "Higgs Bosun". |

Actually, they found the elusive particle in Montana. They

"Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. This year, the theme is
'Physiology, Uncertainty and Quantum Theory- how long can a
cat survive in a completely sealed box?' Please bring a cat, if
possible. Answer will be given at the start of next year's lectures." |

I wonder if timing is everything. |

If you're a bathroom fitter, tiling is everything. |

If you're a nit picker, filing is everything. |

If you're a pedant, quibbling is almost everything, but not quite, because there will always be some things that look very like quibbling but on closer inspection actually aren't. |
|
| |
I did, but I found that it left me no room for discovery, since adding anything completely unbalanced everything else. |
|
| |
Certainly a much better place to store it than in a bank. |
