The God particle

[snopes]

Comment: Is it true that the Higgs boson is called the "God particle"
because the author of a paper on it (maybe Higgs) referred to it as the
God-damned particle or Goddamn particle because it was so hard to find,
and the editor of the scientific journal thought people would be offended
and took the "-damned" part out? I have heard this from two people now and
it is a great story--I'd love it to be true, but as always I am skeptical.
