CERN scientists inexplicably present Higgs boson findings in Comic Sans

I would love to hear the back story on this. Did they do it for humor? I'm not sure I can think of another explanation.

Say what you want, but look at the photograph. That's one readable presentation.

Comic Sans gets crapped all over. And there is a lot of silly use. But it also has its place.

I don't have a reference for this, but I heard/read some months ago that some professionals use it with younger children specifically because the strokes mirror handwriting strokes as taught.

P.S. If you want humor, then I might comment that Comic Sans was the one thing that the induced black hole refused to absorb. So, it ended up in the presentation by default.
