3. I'll make the obligatory joke:

What's the big deal? It's been decades since Mr. and Mrs. Logan (or Sims, Murray, Cantwell, Dean, Pelosi, etc.) created a human with the brain of a mouse.

I have to kindly disagee with you, all of the people you mentioned would be ideal candidates for that pea brained research, as it is apparant to most of us at this site that they don't have much more brain then that of a mouse.

5. Will these mice be permitted to vote in King County?

Will they have difficulty filling out the ballot?

What was their intent?

I see a future of Democratic land slides in KC.

6. Maybe those mice are the voters living at Mailboxes, Etc.???

7. How does the scientist REALLY know that the mouse is NOT having cognitive thoughts?

8. Hey! I finally got around to reading Of Mice and Men, too. Now I finally get that Looney Tunes reference with the big hairy sheepdog and the rabbit!

Isn't it fascinating the things they have done to mice? A few years back, they borrowed some bioluminescence gene from a jellyfish and created glow-in-the-dark mice. I really wanted one for Christmas, but they obviously overlooked the market for geeky pets!

9. Mice have rights too you know, even some of them should not be tapped with brain cells from liberals. I mean there are animal cruelty rules we abide by.

10. is it just me or does this not seem to make it easier for deseases to pass from animal to man more readily?

11. Given the P-I's propensity for reporting things bass-ackwards I'm surprised the story is not headed "Humans created with mice brain-cells".

13. Although personally, I've never really enjoyed Steinback's writing. A bit overrated. Too focused on how bad everything is and nothing uplifting or redeaming happens in the end.
The character's lives suck, bad things happen to them and then they die.

14. I know this is bad, but I just can't help it.

If they infused liberal stem cells in a lab rat, would you get a Demorat?

15. stefan...i can't believe you just now read "of mice and men"!!!!! great book isn't it?
if you haven't read steinbeck's other books may i recommend the novels...."east of eden" [especially] and "the wayward bus" and of course "the winter of our discontent"
you just don't get any better than steinbeck.
and FED UP....YES...you would get a demorat. LOL.

16. Previous to this, they created a human with a mouses brain - they named him Goldy.
