Teaching Rats to Drive

[ZeeOSix]

Study shows teaching rats how to drive lowers their stress.

Guess they haven't yet gotten to the road rage stage in the "rat race".

I wish we'd spend more effort on teaching people how to drive.

Maybe they should use Froot Loops with humans as an incentive.

Nah. Instead they want to put breathalyzers in every new car sold.

Would rather have the froot loops though, maybe the twizzlers dispenser from Wayne's World

The next step is to find out if they prefer a BMW M3 to a Lexus RC F or not. Then science will be advanced. Not until then.

Rats already drive; I follow them home from work every day.

Yeah, I hope they don't do that. It's really the top 10 or 20 percent that drink too much. About 30% don't even drink at all and another 30% have less than a drink a week. They could probably just tweak the drowsiness detection software for drunken driving and just call the police and disable the car if you start driving in a drunken manner.

I can only imagine
"OH GOODNESS IM RUNNING LATE FOR WORK!"
*Rushes to brush teeth, spits out listerine in the driveway*
*tries to start vehicle, breathalyzer fails*
"DANGNABBIT!"

Anyway, as an owner of 3 beautiful rattus norvegicus, dont want them driving anytime soon. But I guess babies grow up eventually.
