That's what they want you to think....
Or maybe they just want you to think that they want you to think that.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, Anna Nicole died?!?
This would be a great day for politicians to make their gaffes because all the news will be Anna once again.
Skipping 700 messages to find out if someone could e-mail me this NYT article. My library isn't giving me a full text option, because they suck (which is my current default response on anything related to my school right now).

Article Title: As Ethics Panels Expand, No Research Field is Exempt
This is so true - my mother is grad secretary in a biology department at a local university. She told me about a research proposal that was rejected because the ethics panel said they did not adequately account for how they would dispose of the research subjects.
The research subjects?
Bacteria
I'm off to check out a duplex in Echo Park. Wish me luck!

I really want to know how they're disposing of bacteria. Cause if they flush it down the toilet, it could infect the life in the sewers, and that's where Movies of the Week come from.
I don't have access to the NYT archives, but that article did indeed report some k-razy overreaching by ethics panels.
No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't that sort of question. It was too long ago for me to remember properly! I messed up my funny story.
