If successful, the project would store its subjects indefinitely until they are needed most. Their first test subject - Joe Bauers - was not chosen for his superiority. Instead, he's chosen because he's the most average guy in the armed services.

Or fear that the dimwit with ten kids in front of you in line at the grocery store is raising the Senators of tomorrow.
Mike Judge is a prophet. I just wish Fox had backed him up more.
