Keep the HEP humor coming . . .

You have to love April Fool’s Day. 
The nation essentially adopts The Onion philosophy that if you can make fun of something in an intelligent way, go for it!
The high-energy particle physics community joined in the day, poking fun at it’s own community and experiments. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the US flagship for HEP research, put out an entire newsletter celebrating the day.
The Resonaances blog took aim at Peter Higgs and his namesake particle in a hilarious fake interview.
And the Tech Herald turned up the conspiracy theory charm with a new take on the LHC repairs.
If you spotted other gems, or wrote them yourself, please share them here.
We all need a laugh more than once a year….
