To Celebrate Today's Award of the Nobel Prize in Physics Here are Twenty Physics Jokes

As the Nobel folks point out Physics was the area that ol' Alfred put first in his will.
We'll be back to the winners after the Banquet Speech and again when they give the Nobel lecture.*
From The Register:

Boson boys bag Nobel physics prize: Englert, Brit boffin Higgs have won
Peter Higgs and Francois Englert have won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on the theory of what came to be known as the Higgs boson.

Blighty's Higgs and Belgium's Englert were among a number of physicists in the 1960s who suggested that a sub-atomic particle was responsible for giving the rest of the particles in the universe mass.

Higgs name was propelled to the top of the Nobel list after researchers at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN found compelling evidence for the existence of his boson last year and backed it up with further findings earlier this year.

The Higgs boson has long presented a difficulty for the Nobel committee, since any prize is restricted to a maximum of three people, but at least six boffins are arguably behind the theory....MORE
