NEWS: The Six-Million Dollar Mouse

I too am surprised at the lack of Pinky and the Brain humor in this thread.

I wouldn't worry too much. Laboratory strains of mice are horribly immunologically compromised - any genetic advantage gained by this mutation would be considerably offset.

i would so volunteer to get some of this stuff tested on me.... make it easier to pass a pt test

when i moved up back to the bay area from l.a., i temporarily lived in my rehearsal studio (which was essentially a converted room in a deserted warehouse), and the mice basically owned that building. some of the acrobatics i witnessed (like mice running two feet up a perfectly vertical wall into a hole, the diameter of a pencil), along with the steps i had to take against advances of the mice into my sleeping quarters, make me view this new, advanced breed of super mouse with great worry and trepidation (in case i ever have to live in an environment like that again).

it's to the point where, when we start talking about what species will inherit the earth after the inevitable zombie apocalypse, whether it be roach or mouse, I may have to put some serious money down on our little rodent friends to be the ultimate victors.

be afraid. be very afraid.

Maybe I should reconsider the job I was offered at a research lab.

I am afraid.
