I would just like to say that I am personally contributing to UMR's grand research tradition -- even though my contribution isn't in a scientific field. Today, in the English class I teach, I made my students research the history of spam (both the meat and the email). I think I can say that my students, and possibly the people of the world, are better off now than they were before I came up with this brilliant idea for a research assignment.
