Top Ten Thursdays: What should we be getting a MacArthur genius grant for?

10) Pheromone that causes men to become aroused when their female companions shop for shoes and handbags.

9) Hemp-powered engines that make everyone hungry for green energy sources.

8) Genetic crop research that causes Brussels sprouts taste like donut holes.

7) Discovering a new element, Sheenium, that is impervious to toxic levels of stimulants, sexually transmitted diseases, and film roles.

6) Creation of eGarlic app that protects e- readers from bad vampire fiction.


4) Digital video recording technology that takes our recorded programs and automatically just shows us the good parts.

2) Holothin® technology that makes us appear svelte to others without having to sacrifice our love of Ding Dongs.

I believe number one is already funded by the Koch Foundation. MacArthur can't match it.

It is like getting an adult entertainment award. Sure you have to take a Koch load to the face, but the money is good.

LOL at fish. The acting may not be as good in The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttman, but those performers work harder than Brad Pitt ever dreamed of.
