THE THREE-YEAR 'WICH
It tops a U.S. Army most-wanted list, unleashes potent chemicals that suck the immediate vicinity dry — and it goes great with grape jelly.

And it goes on like that!

Should this be our highest priority? Should I be happy with such R&D priorities? And should my taxes be going towards this?
