It feels ridiculous to see a 5-page paper with a 150-page appendix. Makes you question what is the paper.

You know... a while back... I listened to a shortwave episode that, they may have found an actual use for the appendix. Apparently, they think it might serve as a sort of life raft for the good bacteria while the rest of the immune system does it's thing.

Yeah. Don't ask me about your version of an appendix. I'm pretty sure somebody was having a laugh. (Like Lawlyers handing over a 500-page legal "brief". who says they don't have a sense of humor?)
