Kinda reminds me of George Carlins ol' line, "Scientists today discovered, white mice cause cancer"

And his other great one - "Scientists today discovered that human saliva causes cancer - but only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time"

There are some who believe the Medical community will be devastated with the news.

Cancer has been not the thorn in the side to most researchers, but the boondoggle for a secure, lifetime career.

We may never hear of this again.

Researchers at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina have now bred a colony of 700 cancer-proof mice from the resistant male they stumbled across while doing other experiments.

Sounds like he didn't resist very much. ;-)

Mutation & natural selection ping.
