They say they are of little harm to humans. They think other lab animals ate them.

Taste like chicken.   If the other animals ate them, wouldn't the plague still be active and contaminate the predator?

It was probably due to the lab getting XM radio.  As soon as they heard a few replays, they headed straight for Opie's apartment.

quote: didn't several serious plagues throughout history originate in mice?  The Bubonic Plague was caused by the fleas on rats. The "Black Death," which is believed to have begun in 14th century China, moving quickly to Europe and continuing to pop up for centuries after, is estimated to have killed 1/4 to 1/2 the world's population! Interesting byproducts of the Plague were;1. Choreomania- an insane and uncontrollable desire to dance, many victims literally bopped til they dropped (dead). Werner Herzog's film, "Nosferatu" has an excellent depiction of this mass hysteria.2. The Tarantella- a wonderful Italian folk dance, and the accompanying music, which imitates the imagined effects of dying of the "poisonous" bite of a tarantula (people became frightened of everything after the plague, hysteria became pandemic, and big hairy spiders were easy inspiration). 3. Ring Around the Rosey- This popular children's rhyme was inspired by the Bubonic Plague. The rhyme refers to sores, the stench of death and the burning of corpses too numerous to bury.For more Plague fun read,  "The Black Death," and "The Dancing Mania."  by JFC Hecker<img title="dance of death" height="211" alt="dance of death" src="http://www.weymouth.gov.uk/Images/DD-blackdeath02.jpg" width="250" border="0" /> <img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y46/bobogolem/SpongeBoboGolemPants.jpg" border="0" />If I got a biscuit, you get half !
