Flying rodents of doom

So on the same day I'm perusing apocalyptic news about some strain of disease carried by rats in South Africa that's about 80% fatal among humans, I'm also reading up on scientific breakthroughs in levitating gravitational fields to literally levitate mice.

Moments like these make me grin like a mad bastard and thank the chaos gods for such lovely timing. Flying mice and a new nightmarish rodent-spawned disease.

"Go forth and spread havoc," the gods said. "Let the plague rats fly forth on the tides of science (and gravity) to bring down the foolish humans."

I can picture it now, rats hovering below radar across the ocean, ready to embed themselves among the native rodents.

Of course, the more disturbing thought is that, at least within a year, levitating rodents is going to be used in some kind of sexual exhibition/pornographic scene. Because all science really creates is new and exotic porn.
