Rats! I Can't Find My Mice

ABC News report - Sept. 15, 2005 - Authorities are investigating the disappearance from a New Jersey bioterror research lab of at least three mice carrying a deadly strain of plague.

This one goes under the conspiracy heading of "The Government Wants Us Scared, But Not Too Scared."

Feds say they think the mice died and someone in the lab just forgot to write it down.

Forgot to write it down.

If you're a research lab scientist and you're studying the effects of a strain of plague on 9 mice, wouldn't you write down that three of them had died? What's the point in doing the tests if you aren't going to keep track of each mouse? One third of your test subjects die and it goes unnoticed?

Come on, FBI, we aren't THAT stupid. Be honest with us. The mice slipped out of the control facility in someone's lab coat pocket and are loose somewhere in Atlantic City. They probably gravitated to Trump's casino, with the other NJ vermin.
