Scientists report that they’ve successfully transplanted human brain tissue into mice.
The mice are now smart enough not to react to danger by firing a shotgun into the air.

Well, and they became smart enough to take Joe Biden’s advice.
Hi, Jimmy! 🙂
Hey, there, cookie maker!
My guess is that the mice were smart enough not to do that even before getting the brain tissue transplant; you’ve never seen a mouse fire a shotgun into the air, have you?
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Pinkie?”
“I think so, Brain, but if we put a mouse brain in a person he wouldn’t be fit to be even Vice-President.”
“You’d be surprised, Pinkie.”
Ah yes…Pinkie and the Brain, one of my favorite (snarf!) cartoon series.
I’m betting those mice might actually be able to figure out that they need to fold their umbrella before walking under a garden gate.
