Yoda The Mouse Turns 4

Posted by timothy on from the beats-dog-years dept.

ChiralSoftware writes "Through some genetic engineering to reduce insulin output, Yoda the mouse has lived to over four years old, equivalent to 136 human years. Yoda is a third smaller than normal, and gets cold all the time so he must snuggle up with Princess Leia, his cage-mate, but he is alive and full of vigor at the ripe old age of 4. Who's next for insulin reduction?"

    "Yoda is still mobile, sexually active and "looking good," said Dr. Richard A. Miller"

    Still sexually active? If I could live to the ripe old age of 136, I bet nobody in the world would have sex with me.

      Old age had nothing to do with it.

      You post on Slashdot, by age 136 you'll have had 136 years to get used to not getting sex.
