There will always be loads of money flowing into DARPA's hands. It's not all things that kill you know. A lot of the research is to help our troops. DARPA has all sorts of branches, not jusr weapons. And even a lot of those weapons are less-than-lethal, like the ADS or the LRAD.

A lot of pretty million dollar toys.

As a young researcher looking at a career of dependence primarily on government funds I wonder if making things that kill better would be more fundable than what I'm currently doing... which is kind of the opposite. Growth in DARPA funds sure are kicking the NIBIB's ass in this administration.

Splenda!?! Ew! Better for your chompers, though. Thanks for the pointers, I think I'll make me some! I can't blame your son though.

Wow, I haven't been there in ages. Too bad LB isn't around anymore. She has the keys to the joint.
Yes, I grew up in SC and tea is ultra sweet. I've successfully trained myself and my daughter to use Splenda, but my son craves MawMaw's sweet tea. (Maw Maw is grandma )

Some folks dissolve the sugar in hot water and make a syrup. Nah, don't bother with that. Just follow ice directions on the box. Let it come to a boil and turn it off and let it sit a few min. My mom made tea so strong that the pot and pitcher were permanently stained brown.

I was just over at the coffee house and saw your post about sweet tea. The line "Then pour enough sugar in till it's sweet. Then put one more cup in after that." cracked me up!
I was stationed in North Carolina, and I grew addicted to the stuff. Now that I'm back in the north, I really miss it, and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get it to taste right. Oh well, though. Thanks for the chuckle!
