Follow this link, it's brilliant!
Well what can you say, mice and men (sorry, people) ruin the best laid plans. Where, however, could this mouse have come from? A conspiracy maybe? A recently exposed quack trying to get back at science? How about the mice from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Perhaps the Vogons are ready to demolish Earth again?
Or maybe it was just an exceptional mouse, the result of decades of selective scientific breeding? Or worse yet, the result of genetic manipulation? These darned scientists must be careful they don't breed a mouse that is more intelligent than they are.
Another word of warning to these scientists. The last paragraph in The Onion's report reads as follows:
"Taking into account my past successful experiments with chimpanzees, it is my final analysis that we are dealing with one smart little f...r," said team member Dr. Russell Sutton, who has already applied for an additional grant to study cognitive learning in the same mouse. "I wonder if he'll be so smart without a functioning hippocampus."
If the world has'nt been demolished yet, Dr. Sutton had better breed some more of these mice and run a decent scientific study. He must remember anecdotes and case studies count for squat.
