Florida Spends Money on "Celestial Drops"

This story is so bizarre it has to be true. According to the article:

Katherine Harris, then Florida's [Republican] secretary of state — and now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives — ordered a study in which, according to an article by Jim Stratton in the Orlando Sentinel, "researchers worked with a rabbi and a cardiologist to test ‘Celestial Drops,' promoted as a [citrus] canker inhibitor because of its ‘improved fractal design,' ‘infinite levels of order,' and ‘high energy and low entropy.'"

In other words, the government spent money investigating whether blessed (holy) water would cure citrus blight.

Absolutely amazing. If this country were at all sane, we'd smack these people down with a big stick. Instead, they become members of congress.
