singing mice

let's get away from guitars for a bit and talk about music.
There was an article in the local paper picked up today from the NY Times about singing mice. Evidently, mice sing but the pitch is beyond human hearing. Researchers have shown that male mice sing when they encounter females using sounds in an organized and repeated pattern... songs. And individual mice have their own songs.
Well, I googled singing mice and it seems that there have been reports of singing mice that were audible to humans. In 1932 a zoologist from the University of Michigan, upon hearing about a singing mouse, suggested in the Journal of Mammology that perhaps all mice sang but the pitch was beyond our hearing. Minnie, as the mouse was named, was perhaps just a basso profundo.
I am struck by the wonders of creation... by a God who makes everything more beautiful than it needs to be... a God who is concerned about aesthetics as much or more than practicality.
Cool!
