   I’ve plush viruses available for sale for a couple years now, so I guess it was time plush subatomic particles.

   As the proud owner of a full set of particles (but not the anti-particles… I’m on a grad student budget), I can vouch that the site isn’t a joke.

   See the site’s “news” page http://www.particlezoo.net/news.html for some nice press they’ve been getting.

   … actually, didn’t Sean post this some time ago?

   I want some DM to cuddle. Should *probably* be a bit more symmetric though (face in the center or one in each corner), or look more WIMPy…!

   Where are the sparticles?

   I took the lepton 6-pack, and I’ve got quite the buzz going on now.

   Notice that they give the mass of the Higgs boson as 144 Gev, well ahead of the LHC.

   So Awesome, I want them all! But a bit too pricey for us poor grad students.

    i just wish they actually looked more interesting. Idea: A+ execution: C

    Umm, judging by the photo they look a bit strung out.

    or maybe pea brained ?

    If you are in a hurry, I think the tachyon ones arrive before you order them.

    Tell me about it! My delivery of them turned up last month, but the box was empty.

    They obviously tunneled out of the box to another vacuum in the landscape.
