Hope For America
Every now and then something comes along that reaffirms your faith in things. It's clear to us here at Shiny Crap that the rising generation, while undeniably full of perverts, miscreants, drug dealers, hooligans, fashion victims, and parental disappointments of every stripe, also contains the occasional good apple that makes it all worth while. We're speaking in this particular case of a young scientific genius whose selflessness, dedication and ingenuity are a shining example of humanity at its best, and whose research cannot help but improve humanity as a whole. We at Shiny Crap would like to salute Jillian Clarke, and we eagerly await the next - doubtless equally groundbreaking and uplifting - scientific discovery from this young pioneer, clearly destined for greatness. It is evident at last that America's - nay, humanity's - future is in good hands.
