How do you get a rat to laugh? Telling a joke won’t work, but scientists say a rat will laugh when tickled–and they’re not joking.
One of the most cited studies on this interesting animal behavior comes from Dr. Jaak Panksepp, professor of veterinary and comparative anatomy at Washington State University in Pullman.

A series of paper sculptures by Lisa Nilsson, an artist based in North Adams, Mass., was inspired by the Visible Human Project–a 1994 NIH initiative in which the body of a convicted murderer was frozen and then cut into nearly, 2,000 cross-sectional slices which were then digitized and put online. The idea behind the project was to create a highly detailed “virtual cadaver” to facilitate scientific inquiry.

Call it the intersection between anatomy and art.

COSTA MESA, Calif. — Republican Mitt Romney says a video clip in which he said that nearly half of Americans think they are “victims” was “not elegantly stated.” But he says President Barack Obama’s approach is “attractive to people who are not paying taxes.”
