And This Helps Us.....How?

Scientists have long wondered how Saharan ants are able to travel between their nests and food sources in an environment with few landmarks. Researchers recently uncovered the answer when they altered the length of the insects' stride. After attaching stilts to ants' legs, the researchers found that the insects overshot their destination, suggesting that they have internal pedometers that help them correctly assess traveling distance.

Sounds like something Cheech and Chong would do. How do these "scientists" get the money to feed themselves while they're conducting their so-called research? I suspect the government has a hand in it, either by directly funding the "research" or by funding universities, whose liberal professors divide up grant money like vultures devouring a carcass. Another reason to repeal the 16th Amendment.
