Save your Bacon

Consider the asteroid. Wiped out the dinosaurs. Do you know why? That's right: no dinosaur scientists. As such, their bacon was not saved. Now, thanks to the tireless efforts of our men and women of science, we track thousands of near-earth objects that one day could conceivably put the dino-smackdown on us puny humans. Could we do anything about it? Well, no. Not at current funding levels. But we could, is our point. And it doesn't end with asteroid detectors. Acetaminophen, activated carbon, adhesives, aftershave, agronomy, anesthetics,, air bags, alcohol, algebra, alkylation, alternating current, analytic geometry, anastomosis, angioplasty, antiballistic missiles, antibiotics, antiserums, antitoxins, antioxidants, antipasto - all stand at the ready to offer assistance at a moment's notice while you play out the comings and goings of your little life. And we haven't even gotten out of the a's yet. So how's about a little appreciation. Pub domain piggy clipart from the nice people at Clker.com
