Though it's no really "news" in news agencies terms, i've just found this article and i find it absolutley hilarious
A group of scientists from the University of Osaka in Japan have created a singing mouse that can sing like a bird! The mouse was created during the "Evolved Mouse Project", in which they used genetically modified mice that were prone to miscopying DNA and thus to mutations.
"Mutations are the driving force of evolution. We have cross-bred the genetically modified mice for generations to see what would happen," lead researcher Arikuni Uchimura told AFP. "We checked the newly born mice one by one… One day we found a mouse that was singing like a bird. I was surprised because I had been expecting mice that are different in physical shape"
However, the scientist said the singing mouse was born by chance but that the trait could be passed on to future generations.
My opinion, it was a 100% useless discovery for both humanity and mice. What do you think? Do you know any other really stupid scientific discoveries?
