Unemployed Scientists Prove Dog Likes Beer

Say it ain't so! Unemployed scientists? What is this world coming to?

While the scientists said the neutered 5-year-old subject showed no clear preference for any one brand, Franklin tended to lap up Presidente beer at the fastest rate, followed by Rolling Rock, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Milwaukee's Best, and lastly, Icehouse.

This dog clearly was not a geologist. ...and no, my assertion has nothing to do with his choosing Presidente over Rolling Rock - rather, in the first sentence: I know of no good geologist that would part with his stones.

According to the team's report, Rogers, along with colleagues Dr. Tom McCarthy and Dr. Simon Huang, formulated a hypothesis that Franklin, a purebred boxer, would drink beer poured into his water dish.

Duh?

McCarthy provided his Shar-Pei, Wrinkles, to serve as a control.

But this control clearly shows that scientists were at work - where is the validity in an experiment without a control?

I think this is where divine intervention or intelligent design comes in.... somehow.

Divine intervention, as in the inspiration to name one's Shar-Pei, "Wrinkles?" Clearly not attributable to intelligent design. lol
