Department of the Blindingly Obvious

Some "researchers" in the UK recently conducted a survey of children's eating habits. They were shocked--shocked, I tell you!--to learn that kids prefer pizza and ice cream over spinach and leeks.

Their advice? Tell the kids to eat their spinach. To the tune of half a billion dollars in bureaucratic outlay.

British taxpayers should be shocked that their money is spent on such poorly "researched" initiatives--and start preparing the tar and feathers.

I'd like to conduct research into the effects of pointed sticks placed rapidly into the eyes of research has on their research progress.

I estimate a budget of at least $20 million...mainly spent on catching the fleeing researchers and the very sophisticated machine that holds them down and still while it does the eye poking bit.

A paltry sum to spend in the name of hard scientific enquiry.
