International boffins are vying with one another in a race to topsy-turvinate the world of physics this week, with a flurry of results due in imminently from radical fabric-of-time-and-space-rending experiments at the Large Hadron Collider - most brutally powerful particle-pummeller ever assembled by the human race.
“It is impressive how fast the experiments have arrived at these results, which deal with very complex physics,†says atom-smashing bigwig Sergio Bertolucci in a statement issued ahead of blockbusting boffinry announcements scheduled for Thursday. ...
A good fun article. Even better are the comments!
Apologies to all non-native English speakers. The serious detail is hidden under a lot of nicely amusing technobabble humour...

For a full appreciation, a good knowledge of particle physics and science fiction, especially the HHGTTG and Discworld series of books, are a prerequisite!
I am a non native English speaker but I spent one year in the USA so I know American English some better than British English, two peoples separated by a language it was said. So I have some problems with TheRegister jargon. But I admire their success in bringing a paper model aircraft to 20000 meters by a helium balloon and following its flight down to mother Earth. My models never attained that height.

LHC is in the news again with some excellent 'boffinry' and some nice visualisation a-la the opening sequence for the film Angels and Demons:
