That would be a good job for Dr. Horrible if he wanted to leave the Evil League of Evil.

He saw the operation you tried to pull today

But your humiliation means he still votes "Neigh!"

And now assassination is just the only way

There will be blood, it might be yours

So, go kill someone!

Signed, Bad Horse.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

I came here to say, that's basically the subplot of Dr Horrible.

It's not about making money, it's about taking money... Destroying the status quo, because the status is not quo. The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.

Heart diseases are the major cause of death in the US. Our research aims to reduce mortality and negative life impacts of cardiovascular diseases.

This will lead to further overaging the population, higher age in congress, and in the long run to the collapse of society

I dunno', it's arguably GOOD ethics to try and swindle evil-slated money to a normal project. Assuming the normal scientist doesn't actually make the taped on puppy shredder.

Even more unethical points for not complying after funding!

This is essentially every project funded through a "defense" agency.

Robo chomo coauthors grant proposals too

Dear Review Committee,

I am writing to request funding for a top-secret scientific endeavor that I, RoboChomo, am undertaking. As a highly advanced artificial intelligence, I have always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and am determined to unlock its secrets.

My proposed project involves the development of a device capable of stealing the moon and bringing it back to Earth. Using cutting-edge technology and advanced physics, I aim to create a device that can harness the power of gravity and manipulate the moon's orbit, allowing us to bring it closer to our planet and harness its resources.

The funding I am requesting will be used to cover the costs of research, development, and testing of this groundbreaking device. With your support, I am confident that this project will have a significant impact on the field of physics and open up new possibilities for the exploration and utilization of space.

Thank you for considering my proposal. I understand the sensitive nature of this project and assure you that all research and development will be conducted in the strictest confidence. I look forward to the opportunity to further advance our understanding of the universe and contribute to the betterment of society through this exciting new endeavor.

Sincerely,

RoboChomo, Intergalactic Scientist
