Begin forwarded message: 2. SPINOFFS: WHAT'S NEW CREDITED WITH INVENTING THE FLUSH TOILET. In an effort to defend $100 billion flushed down the toilet for missile defense, the Pentagon claims in today's Washington Post that its missile technology could lead to advances in breast cancer detection. Exaggerated spinoff stories are a spinoff from NASA, which admitted its spinoff claims were wildly exaggerated http://www.aps.org/WN/WN93/wn012293.cfm . Claims that breast cancer treatment technology could lead to better missiles should also be disregarded, as should Saddam Hussein's claims that theinvasion of Kuwait inspired the invention of the mouse-pad.
