Why you shouldn't play scrabble with a particle physicist.

Otherwise titled - Strange things that I think about at the gym.

Particle physics has such a cool and unusual vocabulary! Check out these triple point score wonders:
fermion
boson
quark
lepton
baryon
meson
muon
gluon
slepton
graviscalar
skyrmion

I suppose it beats thinking about how much my legs look like two giant slugs trying to fight their way out of tubes of lycra when i'm running on the treadmill.

And don't forget my favourite particle - the Wino (it's the supersymmetric spin-1/2 partner of the W boson). :)
