Geeez, does a magnifying glass and a ruler really cost that much?
Two years of experiments on social phenotypic plasticity in duck penis length.
Despite the sequestration forcing the Obama Administration to cancel White House tours, and Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) blamed the same on a military training accident that claimed the lives of seven U.S. Marines, the federal government managed to find almost half a million dollars to study the length of duck's penises, as reported by the news portal Cybercast News (CNSNews.org) on March 19, 2013
As cited in a fourth quarter recovery.gov update on the study:
"In the last quarter, we have prepared a manuscript for submission on the results of the first two years of experiments on social phenotypic plasticity in duck penis length in Lesser Scaup and Ruddy Duck.
Experiments continued on genital social phenotypic plasticity in Mandarin Duck and Laysan Teal."
According to the NSF grant abstract, the study shows that age, environment and breeding changes can impact the penis length of certain ducks.
Proving how this important study will benefit not only all waterfowlkind, but all mankind as well:
"Broader impacts of the research will be international, national, local, and personal."

What a bunch of quacks!
