With cancer and AIDs killing off people, these guys are researching UNPOPPED KERNELS? What College of Idiots gave them a grant for that kind of research?
What's next, research on the cause of split ends in blondes?

I'm not likely to get cancer or AIDS. I'm very likely to eat popcorn in the next couple of weeks. I think it is money well spent.

And more blondes with nice hair is good, too.

I can understand the nice hair comment, but I have to disagree on the other; ANYONE can get cancer; I've lost two friends to liver cancer alone. AIDS can be contracted from another person without having sex; a person could be attacked by someone with AIDS (as in a junkie trying to mug someone), and blood could get on an open wound. Not a real common occurrence, but cannot be ruled out as an example.
