The quarks are some fundamental particles the LHC is generating. All six {{w|Flavour (particle physics)|flavors}} of quarks are in the last panel: up, down, top, bottom, charm, and strange. They are also referenced in [[1418: Horse]], [[1621: Fixion]], and in [[1731: Wrong]], the latter also mentioning the up and down flavor. The mention of the drinks being served "straight down" is a reversal of the common bartending term "straight up," but there is no "straight down" in bartending. | The quarks are some fundamental particles the LHC is generating.

Using this sentence at the wrong moment could be bad for a nice romance. This could be a reference to the ''{{w|Futurama}}'' episode "{{w|That's Lobstertainment!}}," in which Humorbot 5.0 tells a similar supercollider joke. |
