Lab Rat Headline: Science’s Smallest Worm Starring Eternal Wait

The Onion serves up pure gold with 'Lab Rat,' a story proudly trumpeting the pioneering plight of tiny lab rats who are reportedly doing absolutely adorable, if pointless, stuff under florescent lights. It’s like Navy SEAL training for rodents—minus the medals and plus an overdraft of caffeine and anxiety. The article, a masterpiece of comedic anti-hype, mocks scientific papers that often treat tiny test subjects like rock stars, except these stars wear no sequins, only questionable genetics and existential dread. Fun fact: The story was published on an unspecified date but promises to haunt labs forever, spotlighting the thrilling drama of lab rats’ utterly mundane lives—because who doesn’t want to celebrate unfathomable scientific tedium via sardonic pseudo-journalism?
