You can easily identify them as the only mice which go for Babybelle cheese.

I'd love to know where all the boffins went. A few years ago they were doing all this pointless research, now the scientists are doing it themselves.

Tough times.

The word "Boffins" annoys the shíte out of me!

SEPT 23 1989

the red top newspapers call anyone with a brain a "boffin"

I love how the media sensationalise these stories sometimes. That hornet kills 40 people in Japan EVERY year and there's no word about it.

What's the point of this research?

"And that's scientific FACT..... there's no real evidence for it, but it is a fact"

How's about that then guys 'n gals?
(i'm not even going to try to phonetically transcribe the weird yodeling/ Tarzan yell/ mating call he does after that)

I'm sure the younger dogs don't mind her sitting on their face.

What do the boffins say each morning when they enter the lab?






Nice to see you.

To look at detection of, and response to, secreted hormones and how this effects behavioural traits.

Very useful research and interesting concept but most of the previous posters here seem too moronic to realize that as they cant grasp science and cant see past the headline.

^^^^

So always carry a bag of crying prepubescent mice with you if you're out on the fizzy pop.........?

Is that the message here?

How's your cancer research coming? I know it must be hard to fit it in between building homes for homeless people in subsaharan Africa and your volunteer work with sick oil soaked puppies in the Arctic...

Firstly you can't draw direct comparisons between human sexual behaviour and that which occurs in animals. You can observe certain traits common to species but to justify/condemn acts in nature based on human morals is wrong.
This in particular applies to those who often argue a case for homosexuality in humans being natural based on "homosexual-type behaviour" in other species. What we do for our species is natural, no need to draw from nature to justify.

Secondly the research, while it may never have any immediate human applications, is interesting in its own right and worthy of funding. Research shouldn't solely be applied towards a certain goal (usually financially favourable), but rather there should be room for curiosity and to pursue knowledge for knowledge sake.
