   3 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. Reply to this comment.

   6 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. They’re all female. Not sure how you’d make that work. Reply to this comment.

   7 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.

    11 Genetic experiments and the outcome on the off-spring. Or an old Roman dish, mouse stuffed with pine nuts? Reply to this comment.

    12 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 Reply to this comment.

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

    16 Remember “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” Mice are smart enough to manipulate humans to purchase them and then take over Reply to this comment.

    17 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. Reply to this comment.

    24 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. Reply to this comment.
