That's What She Said
by Joel Griffith

Last year,  the federal government  funded  the National Science Foundation (NSF ) to the tune of $6.9 billion.  Each year, the NSF disburses much of this government funding in the form of grants.  These include graduate research fellowships.  According to the NSF, the grants “fund specific research proposals that have been judged the most promising by a rigorous and objective merit-review system.”

The University of Washington recently received graduate research fellowship funding from the NSF in excess of $14 million.  The Computing Research Association received an additional $14 million from the NSF.  Ostensibly, projects funded by NSF grants further the noble goals set forth by Congress in its establishment of this leading proponent of scientific research.   These goals are “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…” A new study funded by these grants from these two organizations calls this presumption into question.

“That’s What She Said: Double Entendre Identification” summarizes research dedicated to the double entendre “that’s what she said”.  The researches assigned values for “noun sexiness”, “adjective sexiness”, and “verb sexiness”. (snip)

THIS IS MORE OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS WORKING FOR YOU!

I was just going to post about NIH (National Institutes of Health) when I saw your post. I figure I would post it here instead as it sounds like NIH and NSF has a lot in common.

$9.4 million for a study to determine average penis sizes.
