			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jab a sensor into a mouse&#8217;s brain and it jostles about violently when it runs a maze. Solution? Create a virtual reality that runs off the quake engine and let the mouse run on a trackball to control its reality and voila! You create a nightmarish hell for one rodent where it has to scramble through a maze with a rail gun and mountain dew code red with a sensor lodged deep in its brain.</p>

<p>The mouse was rewarded for collecting items in game with &#8220;sips of water&#8221;. I do not consider myself humane in the least. For all I care we should start doing this to people. But &#8220;SIPS OF WATER&#8221;? Dehydrating a mouse then allowing it to run endlessly for &#8220;sips of water&#8221; seems both boring and uninteresting.</p>

<p>This however, may solidify some knowledge as to how neurons fire and for that I say Quake 2 has contributed more to the world than obesity, abstinence and cheese-puff stained fingers.</p>
