I don't think they're allowed to eat known carcinogens.

Only smoke it.

12 mice show up

Sandro hands over a sack of sewer rats: 'Close enough'.

have to wonder whether RoFo's donation to the research facility was $5000 and a car

I've never been to a Ford Fester but if they use street meat don't be so sure.

Rob Ford: the Louis Washkansky of our day.

Not quite but I'm sure the Ford Family will try to pull another Bell piece of bullshit.

Lab animals are custom bred for this type of work so its making me wonder, given the patient, if lab rats might not be more compatible given his peculiarities.

I think I read somewhere that these rats are bred not to have an immune system ...

And... the Rob Ford commemorative cancer mouse bobbleheads are out! Only $50, with all proceeds going to the Human Fund.

In the UK, there are now 'professional sobbers' who £45 to attend strangers' funerals and pretend to mourn. See link.

I'm guessing the Ford will be saving money for that.

Its like an industry. I guess the mice could be cloned not to have immune systems.

Years ago I read that that was why beagles were often used in experiments. I used to volunteer with an animal rescue many years ago and heard that some group got some lab dogs that were "extras" and were to be put down when a study was over, but the rescue somehow got them. They were healthy but a little behaviourly weird having been raised and kept in labs, and had to be "socialized" before they were adopted out.

It just occurred to me that rats might be a more appropriate species for hosting RoFo tumours. All this designer genes stuff is fascinating to me, but more than a little scary. I can remember Watson and Crick when they discovered DNA, and later Dolly the cloned sheep!

Sorry to flog the Graeme dead horse, but I'm wondering if the Darren Padilla saga gave anyone the case of the Graemes...

I'm curious about Doug's next move. I wonder how many days before he does something else to keep the attention on the Fords.

Oh rock my world. I went there. Text includes such gems as: "Ezra is going to drop off a card and some flowers with Rob next week." No doubt, wrapped up in a pink ribbon with little hearts on it.

And, "If you want to support the man, Rob Ford, just flesh and bone; but also if you want to support the idea of Rob Ford — the little guy who stood up for all the little guys — then join us." I'm having trouble imaging an emaciated Rob Ford - it's always amusing to hear Rob described as a little guy in any context. Possibly Ezra is cozying up to Doug.

Now at least he has something more substantial to talk about than his regular spiel about the Rotary club and his father's sticker factory, and all it took was a small donation to Mount Sinai Hospital and a quick chat with one of Rob's doctors to get the gist of "the mouse thing."
