It's time to be outraged by frivolous government spending again, or maybe still rather than again fits better here. A study conducted in Oregon by the National Institutes of Health spend 5 million to determine if alcohol made birds slur their songs. The same agency farmed out a study (to China) on research to learn why some people see Jesus on a piece of toast (3.5 million). A mere 1 million was spent in Georgia to study what kind of music monkeys and chimpanzees preferred. To wrap it up for today the same NIH partnered up with the National Science Foundation to find out what makes goldfish feel sexy costing 3.9 million. These studies were all turned in to a congressional report by Senator Jeff Flake from Arizona...an unfortunate last name but he seems to be looking out for our tax dollars.
