Scientists create mouse with super strength

By T.K. Randall

A genetically altered mouse has been created that is both stronger and can run further than normal mice.
The 'mighty mouse' is able to run 50% further and for 20 minutes longer than other mice, but rather than looking like a bulked up superhero the tiny mouse looks practically identical to its unmodified cousins. Scientists hope the research will help develop treatments for muscle diseases and could provide ways to keep muscles strong and healthy in old age.
Mice which were genetically altered were able to run almost 50 per cent further and for 20 minutes longer than their normal cousins.

Are these people [RATS] basically using Telekenisis without realising they could be moving things?? Well Damn-it couldn't they find another creature to give such strength to come on! They are hard enough to exterminate as it is and now we got Super Rats Yeah! It should have been a hamster. It should have been Nyuk's Hamster, Tesla, the Mighty Hamster, the Telekenetic, Conqueror of the Unknown, Vigilant Defender of Darthmouthsphere, and Gargantuan Electric Hamster Cage Generator of City Power! Oh, sorry got a little carried away with the campaign!

Hmm maybe, just maybe it won't be just for the muscle. If used on the brain it could do one of four things. Kill us, do nothing, or make it stronger to where we could comprehend things easier... It could also unlock our psy abilities that got locked away eons ago... Id rather it be one of the last two... mostly the latter.
