Why are scholarly works so freaking WORDY. Like, just get to the point already! Are they paid by the letter or something? And, no, I have no idea how academia works beyond 'publish or perish.'

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

The OP wanted a book for idiots. I figured he meant, you know, to educate them or something.

If he meant a book you'd have to be an idiot to enjoy then I withdraw my suggestion.

It doesn't. Academia loving sucks. It's basically selling your soul to be a used car salesman. Sell poo poo, get promotion. The quality of the science or whatever is irrelevant, all about H-factors, citations, impact factors and poo poo.

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.

How much you can trick people into referring to your published papers in their published papers. The trick is to publish poo poo that is obviously wrong. Lots of people will write about you being wrong! This poo poo counts as much as someone saying you're right. Hooray!

That's hilarious. So, it's like 'hate-clicks' or 'hate-watching' but with papers? Man. Really is no such thing as bad publicity, I guess!
