Is it possible to cry a river?

[Still Waters]

With Tottenham's dreams of Premier League glory shattered before their very eyes by a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, University of Leicester students research whether it is possible to really cry a river.

Musicians Arthur Hamilton, Justin Timberlake and unsympathetic people across the world have encouraged others to 'cry me a river', a put-down phrase to make light of people's problems.

Please tell me these "students" are no using the University funds to do this. This is NOT research, this is a complete waste of time.

This is NOT the cutting edge of scientific research!

I fel like I could write an identical research thesis with just a calculator and an hour online. Seems more like a weekend project than a serious study. Then again, I do think scientific studies take themselves too seriously sometimes.
