shouldn't these scientists be working on researching diseases and stuff?

Damn You....I was going to post that.

BTW, I once took a tour of a sysco plant. They have a giant machine that shoots potatos across the room and inspects them with a laser. Never understimate the science that goes into your processed food products.

Naw. That's a great application of scientific methods:

"A novel application of speckle interferometry for the measurement of strain distributions in semi-sweet biscuits," appeared Thursday in the journal Measurement, Science and Technology.

Join the fight! Drop your career and halt progress of society and technology NOW to stop the spread of AIDS!

Would you like to know more?

If these people would just stop fvcking and stop swapping body fluids, then AIDS would be over and done with in 30 years after everybody that has it dies.

It's not a medical problem - it's a societal problem. And what I wanna know is - who fvcked the monkey?

Probably a bunch of PhD students got together and needed to get their names published a couple more times. Not a bad idea since speckle interferometry isn't that hard to do.

My point is this probably wasted some grant money that could have went to study something..errr....I don't know....USEFUL????
