Dark Side of the Hamster Dance

It's unclear whether HamsterDance was this inspiration, but a group of scientists decided to dope up a bunch of mice and blast them with rave music. Sounds like a Denzil Dexter kind of experiment, but the scientists involved were from Cambridge University. According to the BBC news story

The experiments, led by Dr Jenny Morton, involved 238 mice, some of whom were given the drugs and then exposed to music from the dance group The Prodigy at high volume.

Seven died, and some others were left brain damaged. Some others who were exposed to the classical composer Bach instead also died.

Those involved have had thier wrists slapped.

Blogger Archive Template

I've updated the Blogger Archive Template page to reflect the changes I've made here on the Cheeselog. It's not a lot different, a bit tidier tho' and the rolling limit code is a definite plus.
