May 11, 2004: Advice for Rats

Recent studies show that saccharine causes cancer in lab rats.

Gene-manipulated soy, papaya, yellow-neck squash, canola, potatoes, tomatoes, and dairy and animal products cause cancer in lab rats.

I think it's time to face the obvious. This is just too much coincidence. Maybe, rats just get cancer, you know? Maybe rats cause cancer. Or maybe laboratories cause cancer, at least in rats. So my advice is this: If you are a rat, avoid laboratories. No good will come of it, at least for you.

Thanks for the comments, kia. I don’t know if my apartment laundromat exactly counts as documenting my habitat but this is the inside of a washer. I like the clean if somewhat chemical smell. And while this picture mostly misses it, I have always thought that the agitator was the peak of art meeting science. It occurs to me that I have co-opted your guessing. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so eager to give it away.

further thoughts on rats:

Avoiding everything said to cause cancer in rats causes death by starvation in humans.

aglernon is a mouse, but he, too, should have avoided labratories.

For someone without a stellar camera, you take some pretty fine piccys. I like guessing — coffee maker?
