  1. That sounds a lot more interesting than the episode that actually aired about the cardboard being more nutritious.

  4. Wait, so eating cardboard causes insanity/cannibalistic tendencies in mice?

  7. I love Mythbusters, but I must agree with Discovery on this one. Forcing mice to choose between starving to death and cannibalism simply to prove a point is just awful and not appropriate television.

  11. I'm just waiting for someone to come out of the woodwork and show me this clip of which the savage speaks of. Morbidly curious.

  21. Why is it hilarious, because mice procreate so fast that for everyone ONE that dies there are PLENTY to fill its place. think about all the test mice in the world that have had to die so we could get rid of a headache, or take a soothing bath. without testing on worthless animals(and yes, when they are 25cents at the pet store and being sold as "live snake food", they are considered worthless), then yes, it is hilarious that 3 mice being fed cardboard turned into one fat mouse who ate the other two! i changed my underwear believe it or not, when he said that they ate each other. look up Rat King and be mortified by what they do to THEMSELVES, rather than what we do to them.
