Thankfully, I stopped licking envelopes long ago.

Did that silly Seinfeld episode teach you that? (bass guitar plays)

Looks like scientists get far off track with their work too.

Not really. Breeding mice for scientific experiments is important work. If this makes sending sperm for specific breeds of mouse more easily accomplished then it helps science overall.

...originally had to be stored in tiny glass bottles that broke easily

I do hope the donors were unhurt.

Japanese scientists develop freeze-dried mouse sperm postcards

Reading the headline I initially thought they had developed postcards made of freeze-dried mouse sperm and I thought "Why would anyone in their right mind ever buy something like that?"

When I was in the navy Propulsion Engineering Basics School, we learned about lubricating ship and sub plant valve stems. The lube grease consists of llama sperm. No joke. And it's greasy, rusty red in color and it's messy.

Though I understand that all research is essential and research into esoteric topics can also contribute towards expanding our body of knowledge, I am really not envious of these researchers for whom handling mouse sperm is a part of roles and responsibilities.

I hope this method with now more plastic sheets instead of glass bottles doesn’t conflict with Family mart’s efforts of less plastic used in onigiri packaging. ROFL

The team from the University of Yamanashi were so delighted with their success one scientist even sent another a "Happy New Year" card with mouse sperm attached as a gift.

Laying down the foundations for a future field in cancel culture...
