(Boston, MA) – Scientists have finally improved the scientific method. After centuries of following the same methods of discovery in the pursuit of truth and tenure, scientists from all fields are beginning to adopt the new, so called, “rhythm” method of scientific inquiry.
The efficacy of the rhythm method has yet to be assessed, but it is being espoused from all corners of the world as a breakthrough in philosophy, thought, and the pursuit of truth. Many scientists who had previously spent lonely nights locked up in sterile research labs are embracing this new method, calling it “the best thing to happen to science since disco.”
So says Dr. Isaac John, a paleocelloptimist working at the Greatest Boston Community College as a researcher and part-time dance instructor.
“I’m excited about my research for the first time in three decades,” the doctor said while gaining his balance on his new platform shoe.
The rhythm method of science first gained popularity in the 70’s by eminent scientists such as Brian May, Tom Sholz, Art Garfunkel, Sterling Morrison, Karl Precoda, and Robert Leonard. However, all true rhythm scientists trace their roots back to the seminal rhythm science practitioner of his era, Tom Lehrer.
We recently caught up we Lehrer in New York’s Central Park. When asked how he felt about his influence on these generations of rhythm scientists, and his place in history, Lehrer just smiled and continued feeding the oddly slow-moving pigeons that were falling asleep at his feet.
