Finally, so-called "scientists" have gotten their act together, and figured out something important: Why it is that airline food is so terrible and bland. Weirdly enough, it's your fault.

Last Saturday night, there was an off-campus party at Northwestern University. A big one! So big that the neighbors complained to the school about students pissing, throwing up, having sex, and "hollering about "Bl** J*bs." The Dean is apoplectic.
