Nigerian grad student uses magnets to 'prove' gay marriage is wrong

Chibuihem Amalaha, an award winning student at the University of Lagos, is claiming that he's "disproved" gay marriage through science — and he used the power of magnets to do so. His "groundbreaking" work is backed by the university.

Amalaha says his experiments show that the north and south poles of magnets are attracted to each other — but same poles repel each other. Astoundingly, this "means that man cannot attract another man because they are the same, and a woman should not attract a woman because they are the same. That is how I used physics to prove gay marriage wrong."

After the fluorescent baby mice, now we get FREAKING FLUORESCENT BUNNIES! OH EME GEE, LET ME GET ONE!

"Fluorescent Baby Mice Institute of Biomedical Innovation Laboratory These mice have been mutated to express green fluorescent protein, so their entire bodies glow under ultraviolet light. The mice are available for organ transplantation experiments and cell transplantation experiments, according to the Japanese Institute of Biomedical Innovation Laboratory - Animal Research Resources Bank. They will cost you $1,156 for 50 embryos."

Oh, how I want one of these! Any other 49 science geeks out there who want to buy some with me?
