So much from so little... http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060529/full/060529-12.html
Most of you, no doubt, have little if any experience with mice or any other rodent for that matter. While I have been thoroughly and completely indoctrinated into the world of rodentia (a complete other part of my life), and will just tell you from experience that rodents have some of the largest balls, as percentage of body size and weight, to be found in the mammal kingdom. While primates (of which we are the most recent incarnation if you subscribe to evolution) have an amazingly low body size/weight vs. testicle ratio, with those big giant mountain gorillas having almost imperceptible balls, but pretty amazing cojones. I certainly wouldn't stand one off.
Today's science lesson brought to you by the letter "T" and the number "2".
