Japanese scientists develop a revolutionary way for mice to get eaten by
cats.
Fear may be linked to the sense of smell, and can be switched off simply by shutting down certain receptors in the brain, Japanese scientists have found.
In an experiment with mice, the researchers identified and removed certain receptors on the olfactory bulb of their brains -- and the result was a batch of fearless rodents.
To prove their point, the scientists showed pictures of a brown mouse within an inch of a cat, sniffing up its ear, kissing it and playing with its predator's collar.
Or maybe it's just a way to make cats into total pussies.
Wait, do we still have cancer, or did they already fix that?
