You know what's hilarious? Even if you were the scientist to do all that, the media would still rather cover whether or not Brittany Spears shaved her twat while driving drunk, or what kind of adult diapers that crazy astronaut wore. You'd be forgotten as quick as you were discovered. Nobody gives two shits about anything even remotely intellectual, intelligent, groundbreaking, or flat out fucking amazing anymore.
Let's all put 50 Cent as our ring tones and jump off a bridge.
That came out far more cynical than I wanted it to! Sorry!
