Mouse Agility - Neatorama

[YouTube - Link]

I've certainly heard of training dogs, cats, parrots and almost every other animal under the Sun to do tricks but trained mice is something new to me. This little video presents Brain Storm who has been trained to run through a dastardly tough looking course. However, she prevails with the awesome Olympic Fanfare Theme by John Williams playing in the background to help her speed to victory and glory! Oh, and please don't get too squeamish over the mouse or the mousey leftovers on the table. ;)

And the judges have their score cards ready: 9.0, 9.0, 9.5, 9.0, 10.0! It's a new record!

Of course! The courageous Despereaux. Of course considering when I became acquainted with Algernon, he could be a distant ancestor of both of them. (ooooooooold)

As neat as this is, I have to ask myself - with the high rate of HIV and AIDS in Africa, wouldn't the condom be better used for its intended purpose rather than a ball? I understand the joys the ball creates, but surely there's another way to make a ball?

I think there are plenty of condoms to go around, just not enough people using them for their intended purpose. I don't think there's any harm at all in making this ball. rampatmonkey, if you have a better idea of how to make a ball, maybe you could find a way to help these kids out. I'm not being snarky at all, I'm serious - you could get something good going.

Brilliant. And, as a side-benefit, children get used to the idea of having condoms around and not having any stigma attached to having them.

Just think of all the disease and pregnancies that could be avoided if all teenagers in the world could have a condom in their pocket and be able to tell mum/dad "It's for making a football".

ofcourse after the whole town plays with this serveral of the players are so exausted that there is no need for protection later that night, thus this one condom protected multiple couple's.

@ #2 : Well why not giving this film budget to buy a lot of balls and keep condom to fight serious pandemic diseases. Come on guys, wake up! It's so easy to talk this way when so comfortable in you brave "new" world. Ho! the movie was so cute? It looks for me a sponsored by Vatican. Shame !

I'm with #1 on this.

Maybe Occidental's countries sent condoms to the people of Africa to help them protecting themselves against AIDS ; but if they sent only regular size, it's might cannot fit "the normal" use? ^^
