Increased costs lead to increased debt!
Students get charged more tuition fees. Miraculously debt levels increased! Who'd have thought that making people pay more money would lead to them...
... paying more money.
Why are people doing studies into this? Who pays for them? Dammit I want in! I want to get paid a fortune to state the obvious.

Breaking News!
Radioactive Wasteland is Wasteland!
Scientists claim that the high levels of radiation around Chernobyl are harmful to animals. Well no shit, Sherlock.
I saw a documentary about the scientists that have to maintain the sarcophagus around Chernobyl's reactor. They don't have proper radiation gear, so they just tie plastic bags around themselves. It's better than nothing, they said.
They don't have robots to investigate the interior, so they go in themselves. They are giving their lives because of lack of funds, and yet money is being wasted on finding out that radiation is harmful to animals? The damn things liable to collapse any day now, spewing out even more radioactive debris. You think maybe we should spend this money rebuilding the Sarcophagus? It needs to stand for the next 10,000 years (To put that into context, The Great Pyramid is only 4500 years old), and if it fails, people DIE.
In an unrelated story, a study has recommended that old people not attempt to climb Mount Everest, as they might die.
You think? Old people aren't even supposed to go on roller-coasters because it's dangerous. Noone should be climbing up mountains unless they're in good shape, like my Great Uncle Eddie was when he climbed Everest.
So basically, scientists should stop wasting their time stating the obvious, and start inventing the Flying Car. Or at the very least a cure for cancer.
And finally, Students with good grades (like me) are more likely to get a job than people who get bad grades (like Timmy). Again, is this really news? Clever people in employability shocker!

Don't worry, there are no known side-effects
Although there were significant numbers of deaths in the 1930s and 1940s. You know what Doc, I think I'll take my chances with MRSA.

87 Minutes
How long it took for local law enforcement to respond to reports of a break-in. It does not exactly instil confidence in the system.
Divine Retribution
This morning I 'appropriated' a towel from a hotel. I return home to find the house broken into. So far it doesn't look like anything was taken, except for my glass of change, which contained a few quid, including a selection of those snazzy limited-edition 50p pieces.
GRRRRRRR!
GRRRRRRR!
