Doesn't really have much to do with anything, but someone pointed the story out to me, so I thought I'd share.

Wow. :shock: Makes you wonder, huh? Mainly about the competence of our intelligence forces. :? I mean, if you're gonna make mice to carry any strains of the plague (deadly in this case), it only makes sense that you would keep better track of them.

Anyway, it may end up not being very serious. It just makes me roll my eyes.

...Well, no wonder the rats were able to escape from NIMH so easily. So much for national security :roll:

Seriously, though, you figure that they'd have more foresight, especially over something like infected mice. This, after all, is the world's most powerful economy. Surely they can afford the needed safety and security precautions :/

Still, I guess we are all human, in the end...


P.S. lilaughs at Xeheqlar :Dli

P.P.S. I claim this idea for my fanfic. So there >:D

"You have more security at a McDonald's than at some of these facilities," Ebright told the newspaper.

A lot can be learned from a old story :? .

Amen, and we could all afford to glean experience from others when it's free instead of resorting to the school of Hard Knocks when it's not necessary. It's better to get it right the first time when we can instead of making a sacrifice. After all:

"It is better to obey than to sacrifice." And I'll be darned if I can't remember that reference AGAIN. I'll add it in later. My sister will remember where we found it. :roll:

Hey Seoman,

I see that thet the little article I submitted to you has generated some feedback from members of the NIMH community. I'm glad for that. If I should come across anything of interest in the future, I'll be glad to submit it to you for your approval of course...

Peace 8)
