World's Scientists Admit They Just Don't Like Mice

We've suspected it for decades... it's not that doing experiments on mice has any scientific value - the world's scientists admit they just don't like mice.

"As a man of science, I deal with facts, and the fact is that mice are gross," said Dr. Douglas White, chair of the Oxford biogenetics department and lifelong mouse-hater. "They're squirmy, scurrying little vermin, and they make my skin crawl. I speak for all of my assembled colleagues when I say that the horrible little things deserve the worst we can dish out."
