A very famous university in the U.K. spent £1,000,000 and two years researching why a mans penis is shaped the way it is.

They came up with the answer that it's shaped like that so the man will get pleasure from the sex act and therefore ensure the continuation of the species.

An equally famous university in the states heard about these findings and spent

$10,000,000 and four years on research and came up with the result that a mans penis is shaped the way it is so a woman gets pleasure from the sex act therefore ensuring continuation of the species.

When the university of Dublin heard about these findings it spent 50 pence and ten minutes on some research and came to the conclusion that a mans penis is shaped that way is so that his hand won't slip off the end.

On similar lines, i.e. money well spent:-

So much for creative thinking!

The Difference Between Focus on Problems and Focus on Solutions:-

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). In order to solve this problem, they hired Andersen Consulting(Accenture today). It took them one decade and 11 million dollars.

They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

The Russians used a pencil. LOL
