The Fecal Science

[via PEN-L]

Stephen Colbert interviewing Dr. Peter Agre of Scientists and Engineers for America
Stephen Colbert: "You said 'anyone who grew up on a farm knows that evolution exists'. OK, are you saying a monkey can milk a cow?"
Peter Agre: "Well, if I can milk a cow I suspect a monkey as smart as I am can milk a cow."
SC: "Are there monkeys as smart as you?"
PA: "I'm sure there are quite a few, quite a few.
SC: "Oh really? Mmhum. Do they give a Nobel prize for throwing your own feces?"
PA: "........That's the Economics prize, I think."
