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.
A recent interview with New England Public Radio revealed that Brennan is still fascinated by genitalia of various marine animals, this time one from an orca whale that was just delivered from Sea World to her lab.
"Holy cow," Brennan said when the penis first arrived. "Oh wow. Oh my goodness. It's enormous!"
"Although Brennan has spent 20 years studying the sex organs of marine animals, she's never seen anything this big," New England Public Radio reported. "It takes up an entire lab sink..."

Why are we wasting money on these ridiculous “studies”?
= = =
To produce “Settled Science”.
So we can then tell Kindergartners all about corkscrew penises.
It should be Dr. Richard Head doing this research.
Is that a gun in your pocket?
She.

Why am I not surprised the "researcher" is a woman? And from Holyoke?
Was this study instigated by the former gay occupant of the oval office?
It could be worse, she could have been with Marymount.
What a bunch of dorks.
My outrage encompasses the things that damned 2009 stimulus package was applied to, but applying a stimulus package to duck and whale penises...
Only trying to be part funny, and part not. Every time I see one of those signs about the "Reinvestment and Recovery Act" my blood pressure spikes.

She used the money from the stimulus package to study packages that stimulate.
I guess dorks attract.

Where’s the peck of pickled peckers that Peter Piper picked?
That’s oddly refreshing

It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it!
I hope that the Twinkie whale didn’t die after his sex change operation!
Might we suggest a truly important science study breakthrough? Study congress to find why so many there have no balls.
Patricia Brennan sure knows her peckers
I wonder if he’s trying to get a bigger collection of penis’s than that guy in Iceland or was that New Zealand. Wherever.
