Was given a link to an absolutely wonder t-shirt and bumper sticker web site today: Instant Attitudes. I see much loss in cash over the upcoming months. If you've got the time and the will power to resist [or not]r, head over there and check it out. But I thought I'd share one of my favorites one's here - a whole new take on 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish'.

Well... and in honor of the whole CERN thing...

----------------------------------------------

one quark, two quark
red quark, blue quark
strange quark, green quark
bottom quark, three quarks

This one is extremely large
This one has a minus one-third charge
My, what a lot of particles there are!

Quarks are Fermions,
And leptons are Fermions;
Quarks make up hadrons
Like neutrons and protons

Electrons are leptons
With charge minus-one!
Neutrinos, however,
Are leptons with none!

Eight gluons carry
The Strong Nuclear Force
Which binds the quarks
Making hadrons, of course!

Photons and gluons
Are bosons you know,
And the bosons are what
Make the Forces go.

Two quarks make up
Most all of the matter
But we only see them
When we make them scatter.

We think there are bosons
That we can't detect,
But we know that without them
Some theories are wrecked!

From there to here,
From here to there,
Fundamental particles
Are everywhere!
