I leave the TV on all day for the cats, I’m sure they’re getting lots of useful data while they sleep in front of MASH reruns

My favorite is recursive bad citations in the method section. As in, citing a paper that cited a previous paper that itself cited a previous paper that cited an abstract with no detailed methodology whatsoever, leaving the true methods a mystery unless you get the senior author to reply to emails.

I call BS, there’s not enough room for this sort of detail, you’d get ‘as described previously in [1-4, 9, 84, 86, 150-160, unpublished observations]’ half of which are unaccessible journals, out of print book chapters, and abstracts in German

I thought about this setup but with Sallah’s kids, he had so many that could team up and collect all the Egyptian artifacts in the British Museum during WWII since everyone else is distracted
