This story is a double-edged sword. On one hand the Washington Times has found that spending working hours on internet porn is rampant at the National Science Foundation and has grown sixfold in the past year, but on the bright side while they are screwing around on porn sites, they aren't screwing around with the country. Like when the Foundation awarded a grant of more than $325,000 to Daniel Shain, professor at Rutgers University, to trek to Alaska in search of the elusive ice worm. Unfortunately, he and several students spent two weeks last August hunting through snow and ice for ice worms, only to come back empty‐handed. According to the Cherry Hill Courier Post, "Shain said his sixth Alaskan voyage was a continuous adventure that had everything he'd hoped for but new populations of worms."

Taking a break from sending people out important projects such as six-unsuccessful trips to find worms the NSF is now all wrapped up in internet porn

ICE worms? Is this like hunting snipe?
