So Mickey, how are you feeling today?

From Reuters: Alzheimer's vaccine works on mice: Japan scientist

"Japanese scientists have developed an oral vaccine for Alzheimer's disease that has proven effective and safe in mice, the director of a research institute behind the project said on Thursday."

So tell me, how exactly did they come to this conclusion? "Safe" I can understand. It didn't kill them.

Effective?? Really??? So I guess the mouse stopped asking, "Who moved my cheese?"

I am trying to be more sensitive, so I am just gonna leave this alone, but Leno would have a lot of fun with it.

I have to admit that I hope it means that they are getting closer to finding a way to keep that crusty stuff off the brain. I've seen what it does to those that I have loved and it isn't pretty. It's a crummy disease.

That Was funny about "Who moved my cheese?", though. :-)

I agree JP, I just couldnt resist commenting on what seems like a silly headline. Alheimers is no joking matter, but the idea of an "effective" result with mice was more than I could resist.
