XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

Template:This transcript was written by a pool party attendee

[There is al large circular pool at the bottom of the panel, with a diving board and several stickfigures in and around it. Ponytail and Cueball are talking in the pool, two hairy Kidballs are passing a ball, a Kidball is jumping of the diving board, and a Ponytail with a drink and a Danish are walking along the outside of the pool.]

Ponytail: How much trouble do you think we'll be in when they find out we used the grant money to throw a huge pool party instead?

Cueball: We could argue that we (DID) build a neutrino detector.

Cueball: There's a lot of water here. A solar neutrino will probably interact with it at (SOME) point.

Ponytail: ...Wait. Actually, if we got some photomultiplier tubes...

How the neutrino detector was invented

Title text:We definitely put the pool in a mine for shielding. It was absolutely not to hide it from the funding people.
