Your tax dollars go to fund this. Further, now, the Treasury will be buying defaulted student loans.

So, you pay for it, and you pay to finance it.

Nice, eh?

Thanks Congress, thanks President Bush.

John McCain and Obama also support this.

The IgNoble prizes are always a lot of fun.

Cheers!

The Annals of Public Research magazine honored Professor Deborah Anderson of Boston University's School of Medicine with an Ig Nobel prize for proving the popular soda could be used for contraception, the Associated Press reported. The ceremony was held at Harvard.

I wonder if she got the idea from Saturday Night Live: season 1, episode 17.

Cheers!

Nobel laureates attended the event and honored Anderson and her lab colleagues for making the odd discovery. They also gave awards for other peculiar studies.

This writer is a moron who can't tell the difference between a "discovery" and a "proof" of an existing hypothesis. It has been in the public sphere that Coca Cola can be used as a spermicide since at least the 1950's. Professor Anderson appears to be the first professional to take this urban legend seriously enough to make an attempt to confirm its veracity. Professor Anderson did not "discover" that Coca Cola can be utilized as a spermicide, she just verified that it can be used as such.

One Ivy League college, Harvard University, held a ceremony Thursday awarding researchers for studying fertility of exotic dancers, plant dignity, enhanced potato chip crunch, flea jumping abilities and spermicidal uses for Coca-Cola.

There's a fine line between this type of research and...

University rewarded for studying 'exotic dancers'

And guess who's "striving to get her PhD."
