I totally want to make a little mouse fatter.

Though this diabetes-breakthrough news is interesting, I can't help but dwell upon the process behind fattening up the mouse – putting out little, tiny cheesecakes, leaving thimbles full of macaroni and cheese lying around, mixing up a fresh bottlecap of white russians.

"It's probably the most obese mouse that's ever been reported," Scherer says of their particular mouse strain.

Fun.
