You are so right. But, what about the idiots who give them the money to do the research?

Remember: it was researching the obvious that made today’s scientific fact. Why do apples fall down and not upwards? Inertia?

By the way I am willing to conduct the research, why cake, chocolate and coffee go very well together. And why good food makes me happy? So if there are any funders clipping today please contact me.

How about why birthday cake tastes better with beer? I'll look into that this November. Anyone out there care to sponsor the beer? I'll supply the cake.
