Former ATLAS Experiment spokesperson Fabiola Gianotti announces the change to Comic Sans CERN to switch to Comic Sans

I always asked myself which font are best at communicating complicated concepts?
There are really interesting experiments that proves that the font matters when reading tests questions. Basically activating more brain energy, or relaxing your attention/mindfulness to the reading task itself.

So, may be this move was not that bad idea and not a joke ;-)

LOL the splash at 0.08 is longer than the message.

It's not funny when the presentation announcing the discovery of the Higgs was actually done in comic sans... and it wasn't April 1st...

[STAG]

[MrHayada]

CERN trolling? lel, yeah the glorious Comic San is the bestest

Comic sans font is apt for the money spent on the search for a fundamental particle that keeps splitting smaller A JOKE based on incorrect theory, for it is void that is the continuum fractally separates matter, if you want to find the fundamental the collision catalyst is simple, until then you may as well Be firing bullets toward each other... and measuring  the fragments, such is the next scale down you desire from  proton colliding the force of continuum separation, does indeed have limits you are thinking in reverse, I have the catalyst for actual collision.

WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME ONLY COMIC SANS AND ALL CAPS CAN GIVE THE WEIGHT OF VERITY AND DIGNITY AND PUNCTUATION ONLY DIRTIES UP AND CONFUSES THINGS EXCEPT FOR EXCLAMATION MARKS
