There are claims based on published papers "knowledge" doubles every few years. This paper proves 99.9% of what is published is trash.

What kind of childhood did these Australian professors have? I never heard of “pee games” in my life. What are they?

Then in the name of equality, “pee games” must be made a federal crime immediately.

Anyone caught will be subjected to life in a FEMA camp worshiping Obama.

Knowledge that doesn’t appear to double every few years doesn’t have a strong claim on grant monies.

“Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there! I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results.” — Ray Stantz

It’s hell training little boys to “keep it down”. Is that why my son got into computers instead of physics?

You’ve never heard or used the phrase “pissing contest”? You never beat another 8 year old in distance? Never hit a target in a urinal? Never wrote your name in the snow? What sort of childhood didn’t you have?

Damned tootin'! I first learned about Newtonian Motion by peeing in an arc when I was 2 years of age!
