ABOUT THIS:

Mike is a mouse that I met back in 1995 when I was working in a secret government lab testing growth hormones. In the month of April we were testing a group of hairless mice. All of the other mice died within the first two months of testing but one mouse had something I guess “extra.” I special gene that was compatible with the hormone that we were giving him. Within the first week he had already grown to twice his starter size. Within the first month he was the size of a small dog. At the end of the first six months Mike the mouse didn’t really look like a mouse any more. His arms and legs hands and feet were very long and skinny and he was the size of a truck. Finally the higher up government officials took mike away because the experiment was getting too dangerous for the scientists. By my calculations based on Mike’s previous growth rate – today in 2007 mike should be six times the size of a eight story building. Mike I hope we meet again someday.
