According to the article mice may have similar minds to humans, this calls for for laboradory experiments :smilie4:

I read a while back that the leaves of a rubber plant increase their resistance to electrical current when a live shrimp is dropped into a pan of boiling water which is positioned in the same room as the plant.
This lead the scientists conducting the experiment to believe that plants can also feel empathy.
It lead me to believe that the scientists conducting the experiment are almost as mental as the people who paid them to administer such a pointless procedure.
