Studying alternative medicine with taxpayer dollars
$374,000 showed that sniffing stinkpretty doesn’t heal wounds.
$666,000 showed that prayer doesn’t cure AIDS.
$406,000 showed that coffee enemas don’t cure pancreatic cancer.
$1.25 million showed that massage makes people with cancer feel better.
$104,000 to study “energy healing.”
How do I get a grant to study whether dirt makes a good rocket fuel and water a good oxidizer?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Combine the dirt=fuel water=oxidizer thing so that it is somehow health-related, and I think you have a good start.
Call it “all natural, organic space propulsion”. You might have a better chance of getting a grant if you can work minorities, gender, or homosexuality into it, but that way lies madness…
