labs. For the neuropsych part, we had to run rats through a water maze.
I was the only guy in a group of very traditionally girlish ladies, so
I ended up as Rat wRangler. This is when I discovered that not only are
rats cool, but they have very distinct personalities.
Fortunately (in my opinion) the next lab paired me with a female friend
who liked the rats as much as I did, so I ended up with fewer scratches,
got to participate in parts of the experiment not involving direct
contact with the rats, and still got to pet ours.
My favorite lab rat story, though, happened after a long weekend. I was
walking down the sidewalk with a friend and we came across some
animal-testing protest chalkings. One said that the rats hadn't been
fed or watered all weekend. My friend got pretty pissed. I told her I
was sure it wasn't true. She replied, "Of course not! I'm the one who
fed them!"
White lab rats are so cool.....
Great. Now I'm thinking about acquiring a pet.
