In browsing the recent news, I came across an article that proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that scientists have nothing good to do anymore. Seriously. If they did, why are they studying this? Worm lifespans? Worse yet, the effect of anti-depressants? Last time I checked, I have very little in common with a worm. And while I hope they aren’t feeling glum, I can’t help but think that somewhere, somehow, I contributed to this study. Because really, I can’t think of someone who would privately finance this, but I can think of some douchebag congresspeople that would. The intent was to try to live longer. Because as we all know, a worm’s lifespan is directly correlated to mine. And the scientist agrees with me. “It is a stretch from a worm to a human being,” Petrascheck said. A stretch indeed.
At least they’re not hippies in trees protesting this. So it could be worse.
