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 the
invasion of Kuwait inspired the invention of the mouse-pad.
