Well spexxie, if we're gonna talk medicinal use...mice are used in tons of medical testing and experiments. Too many to try to list.

Oh and they're also used to crossbreed with humans.

I thought that was an urban myth.

And wasn't it a gerbil?

They want you to believe its a myth.
It is probably both gerbils and mice. Why only test 1 rodent? How do you think we got squirel nutkin?

I know the importance of the Horseshoe crab.. What was posted above is just one item.

MTP just got me to thinking about mice - are they really all that important in the cycle? Aside from the fact that we basically use them for testing?

Of course I'm asking about the normal ones - not the ones with human brains.

We're talking about a mouse rubbing one out people. Let's not get too serious over masturbatory rodentia.

Geez.

ETA: Oh, wait...

Burns knew.

The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men

You're not telling me that wasn't a mouse with a human brain settling down for a night in front of the dvd, finger on pause, couple of kernels of corn, mouse-cock in hand, when in comes the rude plough to ruin the atmosphere?

I think it was Labrat that ruined it for the poor mousey...

This part of a quote on Dailykos really surprised me.

Quote:

Some of you actually thought that if we just stayed silent, little pesky details of how poorly the Democrats governed might evade the notice of a very angry electorate, who voted for change they could touch and would impact their lives. Instead, we received instead a bunch of possible way down the road IOUs, while Wall Street happily devoured taxpayer money with few or no strings attached.

So not wishing to poke my fist into a hornets nest, despite knowing the lunacy of such pedestrian thinking, I stayed largely silent.

But no longer.

I hope we can also agree that that dopey strategy doesn't win elections. Plenty went wrong, let's agree that, the next Democrats we begin electing will be true Democrats, not the triple and quadruple talking milquetoasters who got their walking papers last night.

I'll leave you with the enormity of the tragedy.

The other day, I read a rather horrifying article in the New York Times about the likely impact of the quantitative easing the Fed has planned for later today. Long story short, many economists don't think it's going to help very much, and it will do little or nothing to help most beleaguered Americans.

From here:

Wow.

There's nothing surprising about that post.

the "wow" is that the dailykos published something unpositive about democrats.

That happens all the time.

I, for one, welcome our new head-stomping overlords.
