No wonder scientific funding is being lowered

OMFG! Can they think of anything more worthless to research?

I think it's very worthwhile.

must be dissapointing for the scientists......knowing all their hard work, years of schooling, and creativity is being used on finding how to dip a buiscuit

Well it was a biscuit company that paid for all that, so I guess I can see how they'd need that information.

Who knows, all this seemingly useless study might bear some interesting things in the future.

There could be some spin-offs in all sorts of materials science. One should never underestimate pure science: it could lead anywhere.

Mind you, I guess Herr Einstein might have some reservations about that.

Right, I'm off for a drink. What sort of biscuit is recommended for really crappy boxed-wine at 25 rand a 5 litre sack, that's about 2 quid or 3 USD.
