"The Role of Armadillos in the Movement of Archaeological Materials: An
Experimental Approach"

You just know this started out as a proper study of some archaeological dig,
until some darn armadillo screwed the whole thing up and left a poor
post-grad having to come up with something PhD-able out of the mess.

The Coca-Cola spermicide sounds like something straight out of Mythbusters.

Cheers,

Katherine
