The only time it's "unnecessary" to have some form of self defense handy is when you're already dead.

It's not unnecessary when there is a toddler in the room? What is the value of defense if your child is dead? Maybe you don't have children?

In an admittedly extreme and roundabout way, you could say that projects like this are akin to spending money on school. Research findings will help everyone (In India and elsewhere) learn more about space. I have to agree that putting these things in contrast with where 1st world countries are spending their money is startling. It makes you wonder what smaller countries would do if they had the money that countries like america have. If they spent it like america does I really don't think the earth would exist anymore.

Researchers Discover The Most Creative Time of Day 154

Creativity is least likely to strike in the afternoon, according to a survey that suggests office workers have little chance of solving problems after lunch. A poll of 1,426 people showed that a quarter of us stay up late when seeking inspiration. Taking a shower or just sitting in the bathroom proved to be a popular way of getting the creative juices flowing. The survey found that 10:04pm was the most creative time, while 4:33pm was the least. I'll think of something funny to write here later.
