Finding the Higgs boson is a big deal. Isn't it? The one person whom you thought would be interested in that, isn't. Stephen Hawking lost a $100 bet on it, and he also said he would have been happier if a more "interesting" solution to the problem of the mass of the universe had been discovered instead. Here's what he said:

“Physics would be far more interesting if it had not been found... I had a bet with Gordon Kane of Michigan University that the Higgs particle wouldn’t be found. The Nobel Prize cost me $100.”Some people are never happy, are they? [Metro]
