    #1 A total of $3 million has been granted to researchers at the University of California at Irvine so that they can play video games such as World of Warcraft. The goal of this “video game research” is reportedly to study how “emerging forms of communication, including multiplayer computer games and online virtual worlds such as World of Warcraft and Second Life can help organizations collaborate and compete more effectively in the global marketplace.”


    #6 The National Institutes of Health spent approximately $442,340 to study the behavior of male prostitutes in Vietnam.

    #9 $1.8 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars went for a “museum of neon signs” in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    It's not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things.

    Just look at what the US spends on its military. That minimizes any of these expenditures.

    #2 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave the University of New Hampshire $700,000 this year to study methane gas emissions from dairy cows.

    this one isnt to stupid. considering methane could be used as a potential natural resource in the near future. and containing methane gas emissions could be useful. other than that most of the stuff is dumb

    Seems pretty ridiculous, its not big amounts alone im sure, but when you total of all that dumb shit up, im sure you could think over something way better to give the money too instead of studying the lifestyle of male prostitutes in another country <_<

    Although alot of this stuff seems stupid, I'm sure the majority is justifiable and/or taken out of context.
