Scientific scandal rocks prestigious D.I.C.K. Institute

Professor accused of making unsupported claims about his own hands.

A serious conflict has broken out after Prof. Dr. Dr. RJ repeatedly declared his hands exceptionally beautiful and “handy dandy,” yet failed to produce a single photograph.

Independent researcher Sexy Spice has demanded a full investigation. “No proof, no conclusions,” she stated.

In an official response, the professor questioned the researcher's qualifications and assured the press that his equipment meets the highest scientific standards.

The Ethics Committee has opened an investigation. Unfortunately, the institute is closed on Mondays for equipment maintenance.

DISPATCH 002 · OFFICIAL STATEMENTThe Professor RespondsQualifications challenged. Evidence still missing.Read statement

Dear members of the international Press.

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to attend this press conference.

Secondly, the so called independent Researcher Sexy Spice has no official degree in validating Hands. Especially does she not have a degree in Handy Dandy science like myself.

Thirdly, after so many years in Hand science, can I assure the ethics Committee, which I respect and have high regards for, that all Data collected and analysed was done with the highest Handy dandy science equipment.

More updates after Beer.

EDITOR'S NOTE: A degree is not a photograph. Our request remains open.

“Sexy Spice is out! Adult-free zone! PARTY!!!”

Witnesses report that all scientific work stopped immediately.

The Ethics Committee has disappeared.

The research budget has reportedly been spent on beer.

Scientists are dancing on tables, and nobody remembers where the safety equipment is.

Professor RJ insists that everything is under control.

However, our journalists would like to remind readers that the Professor has still not provided photographic evidence of his famous hands.

Sexy Spice was unavailable for comment.

More updates when someone becomes sober.

DISPATCH 003 · PRESS REBUTTALProfessor Denies Everything. Mostly.Vacationing ethics committee, bulk beer, and app restrictions.Read rebuttal

The adult free zone is a control study. This is important work for Science.

Sexy spice is secretly dancing naked on the table.

We have everything under control.

Ethics Committee has Vacation. They have not disappeared. This is fake news.

Inflation caused higher Beer prices. So we were forced to buy in bulk.

Also, photographic evidence is not possible due to app restrictions. We will inform the public when there is an alternative method.

More updates after shots.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Alleged table dancing has not been independently verified. Neither have the professor's hands.
