So That's What's Wrong With Your Spouse

The Wall Steet Journal reports that for three decades, Stanford University researchers kept a colony of narcoleptic dogs to study the disorder which effects about one in 2,000 people. The Stanford scientists managed to breed 30 litters of dogs out of two litters of dobermans and labrador retrievers which had the disease, but breeding narcoleptic dogs was difficult. "It was a definite challenge trying to get two narcoleptic dogs to breed," researcher Lewanne Sharp says. "When the male would get excited and mount the female, invariably he would fall asleep."
