You're always just a typo away from the Large Hardon Collider

quote [ CERN, Europe's nuclear research organization, operates the Large Hadron Collider (or LHC, for short) — the largest particle accelerator in the world. Inside this almost 17-mile ring of tubes and superconducting magnets, beams of high-energy particles collide at nearly the speed of light. The LHC is also, apparently, a "hardon" collider, according to certain reaches of the internet — including CERN’s own site. ]

I don't know why they didn't just name it the large hardon collider to begin with.

I think there's already a gay club with that name. And if there isn't, there should be.

Hit me with those laser beams.

Hey sometimes large hardons collide. It's not necessarily gay.

...if it's a three-way.

I don't know. Three hardons colliding sounds pretty gay.

It is called the large hadron collider to distinguish it from the smaller one I have on my kitchen counter.

Us and old SE may have contributed to the meta data and images generated from the large hardon collider

There is also a T shirt with 'Particle Physics Gives Me a Hadron' that I have seen around.

Well, that's Christmas shopping for at least one person I know taken care of.
