The campus-wide email didn't say "Par-tyyyy!" But it may as well have. A professor at King's College London is looking to study the effects of cocaine on the human body, and apparently the stuffy research ethics committee wasn't down with him just following Lindsay Lohan around for a year. So he put out the call for volunteers, insisting they not be recreational drug users until, you know, he gets finished with them. And, yes, volunteers were offered compensation for snorting their brains out, though the email curiously stated, "There is no direct benefit from taking part." To which tweeter Andy Silvester noted, "George Michael would heartily disagree." [Source]
