Castle Rofflestein?

Results? The whole purpose is to harvest snippets of illiterate outrage that we can recycle as a substitute for news stories..
Along those lines, someone has actually created a BBC Have Your Say Generator which poses a great threat to the self-appointed ranters and ravers. I mean, if someone can generate this stuff, what are they left to do with their life?
Oh, I should say that the above is a direct quote - the first search result for "Heleban". It happened to fit perfectly, so I saw no need to alter it.
I laughed when I read the quote. Then, after you posted this, I had to check to see if you weren't pulling our leg. It turns out you weren't. I cried.
Great column btw, I'm still getting over the eerie accuracy of it. I laughed far too much.

Absolutely classic, thanks David...more please!

Yanno, if someone mentions this column on Herald's Your Views, it might be front page news. Or is that only when Don Brash writes in?

Cut all science funding immediately
CANADA CUTS RESEARCH FUNDING
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council will see their budgets collectively reduced by an aggregate $113 million over the next 3 years.
However, the federal government proposes to spend $71.2 million over 3 years for 500 new doctoral, and 1000 new master's, scholarships under the Canada Graduate Scholarships program - with an unspecified amount set aside for “business-related degrees.”
Aren't people with "business-related degrees" the ones who got us into this mess in the first place? The social, natural and health scientists are blameless, surely?

Who is this 'knowledge bro' character? The phrase is: 'It's knowledge, bro'.

Who is this 'knowledge bro' character?
The one in bro'Town with the eyeglasses?

this 'knowledge bro' character
Now you've got me picturing a cape of some sort.. maybe accompanied by nerdy specs..
-
I like Joe's idea better.
-
Is Knowledge Bro the PAS superhero, perhaps?
(Don't worry, 3410. My Obamicon contained a comma.)

Maybe that Brotown character is based on someone behind the scenes.

KnowledgeBro! Just like I pictured him!

Phew! I was beginning to think I was the last sane man in a crazy world.

'Libz' from Wellington is surely Lindsay Perigo?!?

Iv'e always had a problem with Einstein. What is it with the C squared bit? why is it even there? any fool knows E=M is sufficient. The C squared is just a big number to impress people, Einstein made the whole thing up.
"I made it up".
Einstein, A. What's the Matter with Energy, Random House, pp 201-954 1874See, that proves it.

Why should I change to bulbs that look different and are uncomfortable to insert?
This is an image I don't want to even think about! Great stuff, David.

wrote this in your dressing gown you pervert
Should he have been wearing someone else's dressing gown?

So lets see if I have this right. They are going to cut funding for the research jobs and hence reduce the number of jobs available...
And they are going to train more people for those jobs...
Um - confused
Must be some liberal plot to undermine the nucular family.

I think it would be good to hear from Mrs Haywood. Does she groan, chuckle, moan, or cry?

Danielle: if you could email an image to me, that would cheer me up no end.

I'm fairly confident the "C squared" refers to one of these "[" from before they had them on keyboards.
That makes sense, no?

Everyone knows that mc^2 is way better than E. This is political correctness gone mad.

Heh, not necessarily. The net effect on graduate enrolment might by nil. Students who would previously have been supported through/via their supervisor's research grant will now have a scholarship in their own name instead. That will, in turn, allow the supervisor to complete his/her research on a smaller budget.
Although there's still a net loss of $40m from the system of course, so the supervisor might just interview his/her keyboard instead.
