Reason #210: Bake Sales

To protest the proposed loss of $300 million from NASA's budget this year, scientists and NASA supporters are organizing a mass demonstration in almost twenty locations across the country. To make their point extra clear, these demonstrations will be taking the form of bake sales and car washes.

Oh, scientists - always so clever. The sad part is, the demonstrations will also serve as genuine fundraisers, which should tell you just how hard up for funding they really are.
