Great, Another Plush Toy My Children will Demand

First, it was Giant Gicrobes^®, and now we have ParticleZoo^®, foam filled representations of subatomic particles.

They found the former at a museum, and I am honor bound to notify them of the latter, and so they will demand the fuzzy harbingers of entropy....I find this all a bit....strange.^*

In any case, I feel like I am the victim of some sort of twisted physics related drive-by.

They also have a physics Lolcat page, go there if you dare.

In fact, some researchers at CERN actually used a special order Particle Zoo plushie in their roll-out of the single-top quark:

^*It's a physics pun.^†
†But no, this is not just a vehicle for a pun, my kids are heavily into Giant Microbes^®
