So I was driving home from Ames tonight (I had been off raising hell... but that's another completely different and somewhat unrelated while still having relevence to this story story) and when I was about halfway back, I see a sign that reads: End Pavement Research This scared me. At 3 in the morning, the first thing that ran through my mind was "what the fuck sort of research do they need to do on concrete?" I mean c'mon. You pour it, it hardens, it works. Simple stuff. I can just imagine two scientists in white lab coats standing around tables covered with beakers and whatnot talking. "Ok Fredrickson, I think formula XJ7 is ready." One would say. "But sir?!? XJ7 has a 17.424% chance of releasing chemicals into the soil underneath that would eat away at the ground until giant sinkholes opened up and killed anybody who was unfortunate enough to be driving over one at the time!" The other would reply. "You're right, Fredrickson. Put down a few miles of it in Iowa. Nobody will notice it there."
