That was actually what popped into my mind when I saw the pic, but then I laughed at myself for being so silly and started blaming it on lack of sleep, reading too much steampunk yesterday, and being on my third energy drink within the hour. "Not only is the Universe stranger than we think . . .

If it were a spider held over the apparatus it wouldn't be so strange. There must be a joke in there somewhere about how many mice does one need for ...?

I just had a vision of someone from Starbucks seeing this and deciding mouse milk would be their next big thing. Can you imagine being a dairy farmer with 20,000 head being milked four times a day and sending it to them in a half-gallon jug . . .

Milking a mouse for it's venom, in order to synthesize an antidote?

Phideaux, each mouse is milked only once during its pregnancy. They would need more than a million mice to get their half-gallon of mouse milk. After a time, I am sure that the company would outsource the business and children from Bangladesh would milk mice by hand in a dirty shed. There might also be a story about rat milk contamination or "mouse milk" being 95% goat milk and 4% melamine.

"You can milk anything with nipples."
"I've got nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?"
