Medical researchers at UNT filed a request Monday for more than $15 million in grants, earmarked specifically for the investigation of “the weird dangly thing that just hangs there at the back of your throat.”
“It’s totally sick,” said Dr. Allan Hessel, Administrative Director of Medical Research at the UNT Health Science Center. “But it’s also kind of cool,” he added, prodding the back of a cadaver’s throat with the tip of a pencil.
“Look at the way it wiggles when I poke it,” Hessel said. “It’s like his mouth has a ballsack.”
The Center says it has no previous research to reference, and that current trials related to investigating the weird-ass egg sac-looking thing consist mainly of poking it and taking the occasional Instagram picture.
“We’re all totally grossed out over here,” said researcher Craig Dungess. “What if it’s full of boogers or something?”
The research student went on to explain that “the little punching bag dealio back there” may forever remain an unsolvable mystery, just like how magnets work, what holds the moon up, and whether or not girls pee from their butts.
