Taxpayer-Funded Duck Penis Researcher Now Studying Whale Penises
Washington Free Beacon ^ | April 21, 2107 | Elizabeth Harrington

Posted on 04/21/2017 6:00:50 AM PDT by kevcol

A leading researcher on a ridiculed taxpayer-funded study of duck penises is now using her expertise on orca whales and is going to the "March for Science" to protest budget cuts.

Patricia Brennan, a visiting lecturer at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, worked on the duck penis study that received $384,949 from the National Science Foundation, a grant that was funded through the 2009 stimulus package. The study looked at the differences in the corkscrew-shaped penises of ducks.

There was a grant for $1,000,000.00 to some guy a few years back to study the mating habits of the African Tree Frog...
His conclusion after a year of exhaustive study:

They exist...Therefor, they do.....

Prior do doing his work on preventing cervical cancer Dr. George C. Papanicolaou, inventor of the Pap smear, participated in an expedition funded by the Prince of Monaco to study the penis of the whale which, contrary to myth, is not called the dork.

Suppressing all that I wanted to write, and sticking with calling her a dickhead.

Based on Herman Melville's description [Chapter 95 of Moby Dick, "The Cassock"], I can see why a woman who only meets with far-left men in academia would be interested:

Had you stepped on board the Pequod at a certain juncture of this post-mortemizing of the whale; and had you strolled forward nigh the windlass, pretty sure am I that you would have scanned with no small curiosity a very strange, enigmatical object, which you would have seen there, lying along lengthwise in the lee scuppers. Not the wondrous cistern in the whale's huge head; not the prodigy of his unhinged lower jaw; not the miracle of his symmetrical tail; none of these would so surprise you, as half a glimpse of that unaccountable cone,- longer than a Kentuckian is tall, nigh a foot in diameter at the base, and jet-black as Yojo, the ebony idol of Queequeg. And an idol, indeed, it is; or rather, in old times, its likeness was. Such an idol as that found in the secret groves of Queen Maachah in Judea; and for worshipping which, King Asa, her son, did depose her, and destroyed the idol, and burnt it for an abomination at the brook Kedron, as darkly set forth in the 15th chapter of the First Book of Kings.

Look at the sailor, called the mincer, who now comes along, and assisted by two allies, heavily backs the grandissimus, as the mariners call it, and with bowed shoulders, staggers off with it as if he were a grenadier carrying a dead comrade from the field. Extending it upon the forecastle deck, he now proceeds cylindrically to remove its dark pelt, as an African hunter the pelt of a boa. This done he turns the pelt inside out, like a pantaloon leg; gives it a good stretching, so as almost to double its diameter; and at last hangs it, well spread, in the rigging, to dry. Ere long, it is taken down; when removing some three feet of it, towards the pointed extremity, and then cutting two slits for arm-holes at the other end, he lengthwise slips himself bodily into it. The mincer now stands before you invested in the full canonicals of his calling. Immemorial to all his order, this investiture alone will adequately protect him, while employed in the peculiar functions of his office.

I'll skip posting the pictures, but they're online. Unlike when dealing with Ctrl-Left liberals, she won't need a microscope to do her research.

Her research was inspired by a love of Bill Clinton?

Merely a silent self identification technique that God himself has burdened the younger generation with to let all us old fogeys know, without a doubt, that the wearer is an idiot, is painfully oblivious of that fact, and will wantonly and with malice of forethought, loudly spew their idiocy to all in their vicinity.

Thank you, God, for this sign! I will do my best to be as attentive as I can, and avoid like the plague, hairhats of every style and configuration as well those who wear them !

You truly can’t make this stuff up.

“Hey, honey, what’d you do at work today?”

“Oh, the usual, just jerked off a couple of ducks.”
