Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is often
misunderstood (and is different from
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder.) From wikipedia: "OCD sufferers are aware that such thoughts and behavior are not rational, but feel bound to comply with them to fend off feelings of panic or dread. Because sufferers are consciously aware of this irrationality but feel helpless to push it away, untreated OCD is often regarded as one of the most vexing and frustrating of the major anxiety disorders."

Mice and Martians!
Mice sent to Mars, first all-rodent space crew. I like the article's style:
"The crew will have no exercise wheels, however. Their motion would interfere with the centrifugal force inside the spacecraft."
