Kremlin Orders 3,200 Mice. No One Knows Why

Perhaps to fatten the cats :-)fattened cats are then made part of a kind of exotic sausage meat eeewww

Joke:-)

Cheers!

you don’t need that many to make a fully grown man to hide under an overcoat do you?

Actually, at 16 grams each you would need more....

Lol at all you funny peeps comments but you have all overlooked the obvious. The rats will probably be used to create a plague which will be unleashed upon all humanity. That or they are training for a new pied piper.

please send this picture to mr pootin

apparently this will be lab rats to conjure up some concoction against?

For food obviously, all the Russian politicians are all snakes

Duh. Mice are very good biological agent detectors -- small body mass means THEY DIE QUICKLY if something foul is about.

Of course, I'd just buy 500 and breed the rest, but whatever.

OMG the Kremlin leaders are all LIZARD PEOPLE! Just like that 80s miniseries, V !

They're all female. Not sure how you'd make that work.

Has anyone thought of the fact that April Fools Day is just around the corner, and maybe the Russkies are trying to pull something off? Or perhaps some lowly clerk in the accounting office decided to slip in the order for the mice, hoping that it wouldn't be noticed until April 1...the Russian bureaucracy moves slowly, but maybe their timing was a little off.

I think they want to cover their own Software market. Micerosoft... LOL

I wonder if these mice have been declawed.

I, for one, welcome our new rodent overlords.

Did anyone see the Simpsons episode where they milked rats for the school milk program?

Genetic experiments and the outcome on the off-spring.

Or an old Roman dish, mouse stuffed with pine nuts?

There was a discovery a couple of years ago that found a way to control a mouses' actions, a pleasure stimulating device was attached to the brain of the mouse which would give it positive signals if it followed the desired direction. A mouse was able to be guided through a maze using this device.

Couple years on who knows what sort of advancements they made to this device, if they attach it to a army of 3.2k one can imagine a few things you can do with that.

Just a radical theory :P

Either that or they are gonna film a 'mice on a plane' movie.

They are used for food for falcons.

"all the Russian politicians are all snakes" - LOL

Is it just me or did this whole article seem to be talking about something wholly different from animals?

Remember "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Mice are smart enough to manipulate humans to purchase them and then take over

Falcon food is the most logical. This explains the weight cap (saves weighing the mice before feeding them. Trust me, it's a pain) As for the gender...well, it keeps them from breeding.

Also, lizard people.

$6.25 per mouse? That's outrageous.

the kremlin guard is trying to make super mice!
canada already has an army like this (link below)

watch out guys WW4 will be fought with mice......not men

As I have pointed out before elsewhere. This is all Harry Huttons fault.
