The Internet has made finding government grants and funding a lot easier. The funding bible is wide open. By far the greatest volume of information on the Web about grant opportunities will be found on government home pages. Recently, the US Government Printing Office made several of its publications available on-line for free. There are full text searches and downloading articles available everywhere. Some are way too high priced. The almighty search for free money keeps the caterpillars crawling the web surfing for that green stuff to live off of. It is not unusual for a grant seeker to create a high paying job for themself in their cozy packet. Can be the motivation, reason for seeking money.

One guy on the internet called the giant lava lamp an enviremental hazard waiting to happen. There has been warnings about the lava lamp containing a harmful chemical.

Ambiguously overstated, the giant lava lamp hype reminds of my childhood, those door-to-door kirby sales pitches. Making the assertion that the giant lava lamp will help attention deficit children shows up as grasping for straws.
