The folks at the National Science Foundation is at it again. Here’s a few new ways they’ve figured out how to waste OUR money:
$80,000 study on why the same teams always dominate March Madness
$315,000 study suggesting playing FarmVille on Facebook helps adults develop and maintain relationships
$1 million for an analysis of how quickly parents respond to trendy baby names
$581,000 on whether online dating site users are racist
Now, doesn’t this make you all warm and fuzzy knowing your money is going for worthwhile causes?
