World's Tiniest Drunk. (That's what she said)

It turns out the PNAS is good for more than academic ego pumping. the journal recently published an article from The University of Beyreuth in Germany about the Pen-Tailed Tree Shrew, an animal that could best even Bulltrout in a game of flip-fern. Or fern-pong. Or fern's cup. Not to mention Never Have I Ever. These miniscule malaysians drink fermented palm wine all night long from the bertram palm...without getting visibly intoxicated. Badasses. There is some genetic link to Bulltrout however, as these shrews are distant relatives of homo sapiens sapiens. This discovery raises all sorts of scientific questions, such as: Is that why Bulltrout has so much game after drinking mead all night? and, how messed up does a tree shrew have to be to sleep with a tree shrew that's not in olfactorily perceptible estrus? Implications for translational research also exist: what if the cop that just pulled you over for a headlight violation couldn't tell you had been taking apple pie shots at the gay bar all night (John Berggren)? I guess it's up to all you science praisers out there to harness the power of the shrew. Good luck.
