Nope. Don't love it, even in jest. Sure wish federal taxes were a "cafeteria plan" where taxpayers could decide where our involuntary contributions would go.

"Agricultural nuclear physicist" - actually they were in the Defense industry. There's a lot of processing that can be done from satellite images. Honestly when I learned about it, it totally made sense why my colleague didn't trust the Federal government. And that was *BEFORE* the Patriot Act...

There is such a thing (agricultural nuclear physicist). Remote sensing (satellite "images") can tell by spin of electrons the nitrogen content of soil. Chances of one piping up here...rather slim. This is a "rambling" thread. As the Beatles said, "Let it be."

Maybe you can make pemmican from chickens?

You know they're actually developing cow feed that reduces gas emissions from cows. And if I recall, it's the burps not the farts. The cow feed with reduced gas production is sea-weed based. It sounds ridiculous, but there's some legit research on it.
