Harlow may know shit about science but he certainly is an expert on
things "sophomoric".

Worlds largest science boondoggle. Lessee. I want to study how walnuts
are put together. I've got it! I'll get a bunch and smash them all with
a sledgehammer and then study the mess that is left afterwards and I'll
learn exactly how they are!
Praise be the Congress of the United States for Shutting our Boondoggle
down! (leaving the money for Obamacare... it's time the medical
community got a cut of the pie)
