1. It's a bosun's whistle, I think

Also called boatswain.

Maybe that'll help.

Hmmm... might be a good sound for my phone's text message alert.

3. Little known fact:

They searched for the Higgs Bosun whistle throughout the entire run of the original series but never found it.

8. The spelling threw me

My consious mind went "Higgs bosun. Gee, that sounds familiar..." and then let it pass, while my subconsious mind let it fire around in my synapses for a day.

Then I clicked on the thread again, and *click* I remembered it was quantum physics!

9. To be honest, I've been waiting to use that pun for about eight years

So glad that this opportunity finally presented itself!
