It's been reported in the news lately that scientists have genetically engineered a new strain of mice - they can run for up to 5 hours at a time (where to? the lab can't be that big) and live twice as long as "normal" mice.
Hmmm, I smell a rat...

Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.
If anyone is having problems leaving comments, do contact me on vegplotting at gmail dot com or @malvernmeet if a quick tweet is more convenient for you.
Thanks xxx
My general policy re comments
I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.
Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.

My Woody and Ike were not included in the study! Those mice would not have lived nearly that long. My cat's can run faster and longer than any mouse! Watch out Stuart Little!
ReplyDeleteOur 2 cats are the same - we're getting a "present" from them several times a week at the moment. Luckily we can intercept most of them and release them back into the wild, some distance away from the house.
ReplyDeleteMind you, I think we must have a special strain of unintelligent mice around here. One mouse during the summer took up residence in our kitchen, where it had found a nice snuggly hole under one of our cupboards. Unfortunately for it, this was right by the cats' feeding station, so they spent hours staking out their new fast food outlet!
