TIME TO GET A REAL JOB, RESEARCHERS

Researchers from the University of Bristol used a behavioural test on lab rats that measures their emotional experience while tickling them and listening for squeaks.

..so by lab rats, you mean smokin' hot lab interns?

If Willard finds out about this, those researchers are going to get a different kind of education.

I have a question correlating this study with the Chinese zodiac. Do people who were born in “The Year of the Rat“ get to have a team of researchers tickle them to see how much they like it?

P.S. - ...asking for a friend.

Rat Tickler is really going to look impressive on their resumes. I know it would get my attention.

Top animal social activities:

1. Rat Tickler
2. Cow Tipper
3. Horse Whisperer

Are we sure this isn't an THEONION study ? I remember one study they did that showed "Women who drink wine are more likely to tell off their mother-in-laws".

More proof that scientists are perverts.

I am a proud Year of the Rat-ter!
