Just when you thought science couldn't get any weirder...a cardboard cutout of Paris Hilton has a painkilling effect on mice, according to this research.
The disclaimer?
"As in humans, Paris's effect appears to be gender-specific. Male mice spent less time licking their wounds when fake Paris was in sight, but females showed no such effect..."
What can I say? Mice -- male ones at least -- know cheese when they see it.
