Teabagger Whacktard Christine O’Donnell Warns Against Mice With Human Brains!

[Unabogie]

So what part of the question about growing human brain cells in immunodeficient mice is it that you don't understand or question?

So, any evidence at all that TPM is funded by George Soros, or do you admit you made that up?

Human brain cells in a mouse DOES NOT EQUAL mouse with human brain.

I can't make it any simpler.

Goodbye.

I just found out, through Facebook, that I know O'Donnell's sister. I posted an article on Slate that was critical of her views on masturbation and her sister responded by claiming that the media is making it up and manipulating the situation. If anyone wants to chime in, send me a friend request on Facebook.

"Manipulating the situation." Now that is hot!

F
Secondly regarding the part above bolded. As you've seen from my prior explanatory posts, given the current state of the science, no it isn't nonsense at all. That's why I DID LOOK IT UP, and DID PROVIDE THE LINKS. [bolding by Ladewig]

And THAT, Mhaze, is the crux of the matter. When you heard her claim that scientists were cross breeding rodents and humans to create mice with fully functioning human brains, you did not immediately respond by saying, "she's right! it was done back in 2007." Instead, when you heard a claim that was too outrageous to take at face value, you investigated it. O'Donnell did not do that. The claim was nonsense and instead of researching it, she not only took it as true, she repeated it on national television. That was a very silly thing to do.

 

[Ladewig]

Now Obama's interview in which he stated that he thought when he was giving speeches, he was directly channeling God.

That's some nonsense for you.

Even if you could show beyond all reasonable doubt that Obama is king of the fools and spouts nothing but nonsense all day long, that would have absolutely no impact on whether or not O'Donnell's comment was nonsense.

The candidate is herself proof of her thesis; Clearly she is the result of creating a human with a mouse's brain.

Not exactly. She's actually a vehicle built by mice who operate her from inside. There's a team of thirty mice operating her at all times, with an occasional hamster in as a consultant. So far the project seems a success, but Stage II will be trickier: they're going to attempt to achieve escape velocity and pilot her into space to study near-Earth asteroids.

These mice you speak of wouldn't happen to be hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, would they?

If she's elected, her first birthday as a Senator may be relevant.

Look at what this lady has been saying. Do you think the mice inside her sound like they are hyper-intelligent? You get what you pay for, and the fact is they've been cutting corners on this project from the start. You don't get the best mice at those salaries. They're not stupid mice, exactly, but if you pick any one of them at random you're more likely to find one with an associates degree in communication than a masters degree in engineering.

Mice with degrees? I really doubt it. Maybe a GED, at best.

This is somewhat similar to mhaze's hilarious attempts to make Palin's statement about AGW: 'I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made' into 'No comment'.

One wonders if he could find some way to find a statement such as 'I hate blacks' not racist.

Believe it.

"She was talking about jelly beans."

 

[GreyArea]

"She was talking about jelly beans."

Then the black ones are the best. No question.

 

[Mark6]

Wow, she made Oreilly look reasonable

At first I misread this as "she made Orwell look reasonable". Which still works.

 

[TragicMonkey]

Then the black ones are the best. No question.

Some brands make the green ones have this weird horrible minty taste. It's a shock to encounter those unexpectedly. One second you're thinking "jelly beans! hooray!" and the next minute you're wondering why you taste toothpaste.

Obviously, a normal sized mouse would be completely unable to even movie with a human brain. So, first they'd have to create Rodents Of Unusual Size, just to contain the brains.

Big mouse strikes again, and she's got no right to take her place in the human race.

I know this has more or less been stated but human brain cells =/= human brain. If she would have simply added "cells" at the end of the statement in question, we would not be discussing this. I have little doubt that she completely misunderstood the science being done. However, it has made for a hilarious conversation.

ETA: I now realize that I repeated what NotJesus stated. My bad. =)

Or a tiny human brain.
