Casinos Cause Nuclear Proliferation

Most of the really stupid academic studies I've run across involve "drugs" of some sort (including cigarettes and alcohol). Every once in a while you get a sex study that's pretty "eye-opening". But never, in my wildest imagination, did I imagine I'd see a "scientific" study that postulated a nuclear threat from North Korea because of "Las Veagas style" gambling and casinos!

Perhaps the author of this study should use his next Federal grant to get a life. Or maybe this started out aas a drug study, but after he'd smoked the experiments, this was all he could write about ....
