This is old news, but it's still funny: "Sandia National Laboratories says it's worthless" http://www.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/stories/2002/05/20/story3.html?page=all

I guess that explains the whole "worthless" aspect of another old previous post

http://llnlthetruestory.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-waste.html

" Tim Shepodd (8223) liked the moniker and agreed to call it the “chili cookoff.” But there was no chili involved, and the only “cooking” had to do with the kind of chemicals not usually found on Sandia grounds. "

There's a lot of weird stuff on the internet about that Tim Shepodd guy.

Worthless? What about the annual profit fees for managing Sandia?

Yeah! What about those nasty Sandia guys having a chili cookoff at taxpayers' expense? How does ULM get away with that stuff?

What's incredibly funny is that the "chili cookoff" was submitted for an award, but came back with nothing.

The "scientific" capabilities at Sandia CA are laughable. A Sandia manager at the Livermore site in the Materials Physics Department once said that Sandia LDRDs are supposed to fund research that is Nobel-Prize worthy.

Ironically, out of all the 3 weapons labs, Sandia is the only one that has never generate a Nobel Prize (even LLNL and LANL each have 1 Nobel Prize).

Yeah, I heard about that! A lot of staff employees in the department where the "chili cook-off" was carried out were always making fun of that experiment.

When it was submitted for an award competition and didn't win anything, everyone was rolling on the floor laughing at the manager of that experiment!

There was a competition to submit a SNL program for an award nomination that year. Tim Shepodd stepped over several staff members' nominations and overruled their submissions to submit his "chili cook-off" project for the award.

A lot of staff employees in the department where the "chili cook-off" was carried out were always making fun of that experiment (and noted that they were stepped on because of Shepodd's decision to push his program - a clear conflict of interest!).
