Is Brian a Super Mouse?
There was an article in the Metro today about some scientists who have managed to breed mice that have no fear. Somehow these crazy science types have isolated the part of the mouse that senses fear, and then gone and removed it (presumably just for fun). Apparently the fearless mice then proceed to wander up to nearby cats and (possibly) taunt them, in Speedy Gonzalez kind of way. Sadly, these lab mice are *not* blessed with Se�or Gonzalez’s super speed, and are presumably promptly eaten by said feline.
Anyway, this kinda got me wondering. What if Brian came from such a lab? I mean, I’m not saying he’s fearless or anything. He hid behind the sofa for the entirety of this weeks Heroes episode (to be fair, that Sylar bloke is one scary son-of-a-bitch). What I’m saying is, what if he’d been part of some evil (or, for arguments sake, non-evil) science lab experiment?
To satisfy my curiosity (and make sure I’m not living with some evil super-mouse), I’m going to start testing Brian’s abilities, just in-case he’s got some amazing power I have yet to discover (other than being able to disappear for weeks on end). Also, for the benefit of the scientific community/eminent historians/bored people who read my blog, I shall be recording my findings here. That is, of course, unless Brian’s super ability is some sort of mind control thing. If it is, we’re all screwed.
