Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern, near Geneva thought they had hit the jackpot last month in their search for the elusive Higgs Boson particle, which is believed to give everything in the universe mass.
Rumours have been circulating for weeks that evidence of the Higgs Boson had been found after an internal e mail had been leaked to the press.
The memo suggested that the Large Hadron Collider's Atlas particle detection experiment may have picked up a trace of the so called "God2 particle on one of the huge spectrometers in the facility.
But hopes were dashed when the trace on the spectrometer was found to be nothing more than a crumb that had dropped from an egg roll one of the scientists had been eating at breakfast time.
