Is it just me, or are scientists becoming kind of like really stoned college students, who sit on the couch for 16 hours a day and watch Planet Earth dvds and say shit like "Dude, what do you think would happen if a honey bee was like, super coked up?" "Whoa. That is like, a super good question." According to a new study, we now know:
An Australian scientist is doping up honey bees with cocaine to study how their brain reacts to the drug, and possibly find a way to stop addiction in humans.
The research found similarities between honey bees and humans, in that they are both are driven by rewards and both have their judgment altered by cocaine.
I was really hoping there would be a quote following that saying "We first realized that the bees were becoming addicted to the drug when they gathered in a formation that spelled out "We'll suck your cock for more of this stuff."
I love that they're spending money to find out if cocaine's addictive. I'm hoping we see a story shortly that says "Romanian Scientists Find Evidence That Alex Rodriguez Plays Like Total Shit In October."
Can you not read or do you just have trouble stringing together meaning from words? It says pretty clearly in that quote that they're spending money to try to figure out how cocaine is addictive, not if it's addictive.

Heart disease? Nah. Cancer or AIDS? Whatever. The common cold? Bitch, please.
Seeing if cocaine will fuck up a honeybee like it does a human? WINNER!

The real question they should be answering is why is it so fun to watch Planet Earth when you are stoned?

We scientists have access to any chemical imaginable. Of course some of us are druggies ;)
