The University of Minnesota has proved that people can swim just as fast in water as they can in syrup. It will be a defining scientific break through for our times, and it happened in my home town. Proud does not begin to describe how that makes me feel. (link via kottke.org)
Wow. And the U wonders why the legislature doesn’t want to throw money its way? Heh, maybe if they expanded their studies of syrup, they’d have a good argument, but until then… no money for you!
