If it seems like something someone would make up to justify some viewpoint... then it probably is...
... like it's used here to justify a point-of-view;

Warning; this website has "spiritually uplifting" music and evil mouse pointers, in addition to the standard assinine stupidity.
They mention the rocking rodents and end up using a quote from Ellen White about William Miller before concluding;
The above statements prove rock music to be evil.
Don't call us; we won't call you. Lovely. ANother site that came up when I searched this topic was one which stated;
Egypt is where modern historians directly trace the origins of rock music.

Golly, won't musicologists be surprised... ah, but then I suppose "Walk Like An Egyptian" is evidence of some sort, eh?
Tell me, are Christian fundamentalists stupid when they become fundamentalists, or does it just end up that way? (Note to the easily insulted; if you are a Christian fundamentalist you may feel insulted. Other Christians are not being attacked.)
... as much as I would like to be all witty about using it to keep mice out of your house... someone's already done that;

A similar experiment which concluded;
... there were no significant differences between the mice that listened to rock music, the mice that listened to classical music, and the mice that did not listen to any type of music.
It appears this story is a load of 80110cks. If I can be arsed later on I'll track down the person it says did the experiment and see how he's doing.
That could be fun; what's he doing now, subjecting cats to Nine Inch Nails? Making dogs dance to House? Or, as seems to be the case, either not exisiting or making non-repeatable experimental discoveries?
