- jmp478, on 10/11/2007, -1/+43I didn't know mice could be mentally retarded. How could you tell anyways?
- aresef, on 10/11/2007, -0/+36Today the mice. Tomorrow the internet.

- dude199, on 10/11/2007, -18/+50what...they took away their bibles?
- MrBabyMan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29Loved that novel, and the movie they made from it, "Charly". Hopefully this doesn't have the aftereffects the drug in the novel did.
- laterthandawn, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27that's gotta be like waking up from the longest, strangest overnight drunk..."what a strange dream i just had..." and i wonder if the mice miss it in retrospect.
on that note...kirk cameron, there's still hope! - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24We can finally cure the internet!

- nixonrichard, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17"Remember to put flowers on Algernon's grave." That book was so goddamn sad.
- jackhole, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15Before it was either a book or a movie, it was a short story. That's the superior version.
- slicedoranges, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15We can fix their sense of humor too.
- flashback99, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13or you tube commenters

- AllenS, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11@ donwilson2
Oh, poor republican =( Did somebody get their feelings hurt? Does somebody want a hug. Come here. Momma will hug you and make the bad old democrats go away. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12finally ! hope for my brother Bilo
- Cyberen, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Can it be made into a vapor and dispersed through the atmosphere?
- Szandor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Not much of a "rugged individual", are you?
- Error601, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8There's various tests to how quickly they learn and adapt to situations.
- Haroshia, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Hope for whoever designed the new comment system.
- MasterThief117, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10Hmm, I don't think this will work on Paris Hilton.
- wannabenomad, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6good thing you didn't..?
- AllenS, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Yes, we can do that with a high velocity metal projectile aimed at their head.
- abdrahman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Most scientists would love to extend their work to humans; you know, if there were not: ethical concerns, the FDA, potential lawsuits should things go wrong,etc.
of course, without these hassles, we would have a few extra Dr. Mengeles in the world. - GlenLeafJr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4If Republicans are better than Democrats at anything, it's shooting.
- break99, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Great news. Millions of religious fundamentalists to go. (and please hurry...)
- Fireflock, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5As in the book,
The faster your intelligence increases = the faster it wears off and you tank. I won't be able to comment much longer. :-( - Szandor, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Bad news for Earth (it's about eight years late).
- Markpdotcom, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5When reading the title did anyone else read it in Borats voice? :D
- serpentor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Direct link - no scientific journalism spam!
http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/fragilex-0625.html - reboare, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5...and Cheney, and Rumsfeld, and on and on and on....
- namurt, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Flowers for Algernon was a really good book but really sad too..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowers_For_Algernon - vuthy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Very cool, though any kind of animal experimentation makes me kinda sad (like how they actually MADE the mice retarded first). Then again, I'm sure that somehow, someway I'm reaping the benefits of a animal experimentation, so I can't really complain, can I?
- RonPaulPres2008, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Exactly. It's sad but necessary... as is stem cell research (sigh).
When will that ***** pick up already! - Eccohawk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4It really does amaze me how every single story on digg can be twisted into something political....
- sabach, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3This only affects one specific condition, there are dozens of different causes of MR, many of which are poorly understood. It is however an important breakthrough.
- Shambla, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It's those damn mouse lobbyists
- awhiteflame, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3That's retarded.
- viviwanu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Is George W Bush a mouse?
- Waterrat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2 I didn't read the short story,but I felt the novel was far better than eithor versonon of the movie.
The part of the movie i found that was so stupid is how Algernon escaped onto a table and everyone went nuts,than in an instant,he was somewhere else.
Why anyone would be afraid of a domesticated mouse is a mystery to me. - HairyFotr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2They also test theyre grammarz. But this test is more commonly used to determine cat retardation.
A good indicator of retardation is also how the animal is looks at you.
Here is an excelent example:

- droversoul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Sign me up for cyborg tests. I want me some robot arms.
"mmmplease..sit..on..my..face" - bshock, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Forget mice -- can they reverse mental retardation with U.S. presidents?
- epyon180, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Damn, The mice get all the good treatment.
- iTorrey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2seriously! My thought was "There's a hope for congress in general".
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2GREAT cause I know some hot retarded girls that I'd like to get with. Could you imagine snapping out of being retarded and finding out you were ***** RETARDED?!?!
