How much could you have made the video for?

The shrimp video was not the total sum of what was done with the millions in research money for researching dangerous pathogens that could hurt the shrimp farming industry, just a very very small part of it.


Here's another example: Parkinson's disease researchers use those squishy stress-relief balls as part of Parkinson's therapy and research into the disease...

So (going by your logic), a video of a Parkinson's patient squeezing a stress ball would be grounds for saying "Millions of dollars spent in Parkinson's Disease research just to make a video of a guy squishing a $1.99 stress ball".

It wasn't millions actually. It was $682K

Thanks for the correction.

You know what they say: "A million here and a million there, and pretty soon we're talking real money."

I know. He was being all uptight so I was poking fun at him. Because that's what uptight people need especially.

Male fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) were genetically engineered to ejaculate when exposed to a red light.

Let's just take a minute to appreciate science and this sentence. Some nerds are masturbating fruit flies with red light. Too cool!

Any chance of getting a genome therapy pill that does this for humans?!
