I suspect when Rod Stewart crooned this tune he wasn’t thinking about little furry rodents.

Clearly some University of Bonn scientists were.

These enterprising scientists made the discovery that if they fed viagra to mice (who had raised their little mouse paws and  volunteered for this experiment, agreeing that getting shocked on the way to finding the cheese was getting old). Anyway, in addition to the perks associated with using Viagra, they lost weight.

No muffin tops for these studly mice.

Of course, being sacrificed at the end of the week could have been considered a deterrent for volunteering.

I wonder if the scientists had these little guys monitered after the lab closed for the evening. After all, a motivation for any middle aged mouse is not only to be able to sustain an erection, hopefully for not more than 4 hours as using their little mouse paws to call their physician could prove to be problematic, but to look great while doing the dance of love.

Had the scientists, I contend, been viewing the after hours proceedings they would have learned that the benefit of weight loss was not attributed to the viagra at all, but to the organization of a rigorous exercise class.
