Inbreeding causes 3 out of every 10 Dalmation dogs to suffer from hearing disability.

Laughing can kill you? Fatal hilarity is death as a result of laughing too hard. In the third century B.C. the Greek philosopher Chrysippus died from laughter after watching a donkey eat a fig (yeah, we don't get it either). A recent case occurred in 1975 when Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer in England, died after watching a television show called The Goodies. Alex laughed for over 25 minutes until he finally collapsed on the couch from heart failure. His wife later sent a letter to the TV show thanking them for making his last moments of life so pleasant.

Lab Monkey Report We are cranking out experiments for the little scientists as fast as we can and have rolled out several new (advanced) experiments during the past two weeks. Still, Reeko will not increase of banana quota to more than 12 bananas per day which we feel is highly unfair. The rats are fed several times a day and being the superior species, we feel we deserve as many bananas as we want. Reeko says the potassium in the bananas causes a chemical overload in our brains which results in us repeating ourselves over and over again. We of course, know that is not true. We of course, know that is not true.

Lab Rat Report There have been some strange noises coming out of Top Secret Section F. As usual, the monkeys won’t tell us what is going on but we heard them talking about some sort of "row bat" that Reeko is working on. We listened at the doorway and hear clanking noises coming from inside and see very bright lights flashing from under the door. Sometimes we hear Reeko talking to himself. Stay tuned – something big is coming!
