Scary things found on the paper

Sometimes I like to look through a paper and find those little articles written more as space fillers than to actually give any information. This particular article surprised me. To me it seems like an important discovery, yet the paper left it in a dark corner of page 38. I found it while reading "The Toronto Sun" at the Barber.

NEW YORK (AP) - With a single genetic switch, scientist have created a strain of supermice two to three times more muscular than usual, with big, broad shoulders and massive hips.

The scientists believe the nice could spur a revolution in the threatment of muscular dystrophy and similar diseases, and peraps even transform the livestock industry, where bigger muscles would mean more meat.

The supermice were made by molecular biologists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.

The researches created the mice by deleting a single gene that appears to limit muscle growth.
