Indoor cats can be comforting pets. Outside, all should be destroyed....just like any other invasive and harmful species. Think Japanese beetles, "frankenfish," pythons in Florida, on and on....

The gentleman prefers the common a-s-s, which he can find in any highly reflective surface.

Apparently SOMEONE is funding the research somewhere.

Usually when I run into someone doing this type of research they are doing it on their own and they either work for a University or lab and have access to the equipment through their work and they have their employers permission to utilize the equipment on their own time.  So their cost is minimal, but they don't or wouldn't have the access to the type or number of pieces that would be needed for the type of research Roger is suggesting.

Maybe a gold confiscation? Would that provide enough pieces? I mean heck, if we’re going to go all Marxist, why stop with the TPGS?
