Xanatos research

Share definition
Any program of research in which any possible pattern of results, including null results, leads to interesting, publishable findings. Related to the concept of a Xanatos gambit, where any possible outcome to a scheme or plan leads to a victory for the mastermind of the plan.
Did you hear about the new experiment we're running on the XYZ phenomenon? It's totes Xanatos research. Either we're going to show that XYZ is real... or if the effect isn't there we have enough subjects to do equivalence testing to show that the existing results in the literature about XYZ are specious.

The Research is an indie pop band from Wakefield, England. The lead singer is Russell "the disaster" who is hilarious and never seen without his baseball cap over his wild hair. He performs using a old Casio keyboard balanced on his knee. 2 girls make up the band- a bass player and a drummer. Most songs are based around failed relationships.

A badass research facility located in New Mexico. After a cataclysmic disaster in Sector C, Gordon Freeman is left to fight off retarded zombie alien things and other creatures. The Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) is sent in to kill anything and everything remaining, while the Black Ops are sent in to arm a nuclear device. This event leads to the Seven Hour War, which destroys most of the world's population, and leads to the events in Half-Life 2.
The Black Mesa Research Facility is boring. Fuck I guess I'll go work for Aperture Science.

This is when the business goes out and does its own research. This will be done either face to face or over the phone/internet or by post. Many things can be done towards this e.g. questionnaires can be filled out.

A crucial lawyering skill best taught at high altitudes, in the foggy mountains of East Asia, by an unremittingly cruel and forbidding sensei. The pupil should be forced to subsist only on a diet of insects and tree bark, must punch out memos until his or her fingers bleed, and must learn to live without sleep -- permanently. Whenever the pupil makes a mistake, he or she must be severely beaten with a Bluebook to the point of unconsciousness.

The training will culminate in a series of near-impossible tests, which may or may not involve the following: fighting rabid panda bears; swimming across a mighty river while carrying a boulder; interviewing pretend clients; retrieving a precious jewel from each of the 94 Federal judicial districts; dueling a demon to the death; and solving ancient riddles.
