No Shit, Sherlock

Sept. 4 NYT Headlines: Men want hot women, study confirms; Rockers really are more likely to die early - study points to drugs, alcohol abuse as factors in stars' premature deaths


By the year 2010, there will be 53.1 million orphans in Africa and 68.9 million in Asia due to disease, poverty, starvation/dehydration and other ailments. Of the 3 million people who die every year due to waterborne diseases caused by unclean water, 90% are children under the age of 5. I could go on about the dire straits our world is in nowadays but I think you guys are smart enough to get the gist of this.

Yet a bunch of think tanks and scientific groups decided to spend research grants and other monies not to find a cure to these problems but to better understand why rockers die young and the pretty ones have bedmates.

What we need is more science. Sigh.
