    And the project is called "Of Mice and Men", right?

      more like "The Best laid plans of mice and men."

      The mice will be furious.

    God has filed suit against the scientists who have "decoded" the DNA of a mouse, citing the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions.

  6. Doesn't Disney have copyright? by MacAndrew · · Score: 4, Funny

    Or patent or trademark or whatever the heck Mickey is at this point. The Sonny Bono Act will only carry them so far. (Don't blame him for what Disney forces him to lobby for.)

    Genetically engineered mice can be patented, so bioengineered or cloned progeny of Mickey may be attractive to Disney Genetics and Licensing, Inc. There is some suspicion Mickey himself is engineered, as he has not aged in over 60 years.

    Set Mickey free!
