Best part:

(..) Brecht’s team even taught the rodents to play hide and seek. At the beginning of the game, a rat was enclosed in a box while a researcher hid somewhere in the room. The researcher then opened the box using a remote control, allowing the animal to jump out and begin “seeking.” When the rat successfully found the hidden scientist, it was rewarded with—you guessed it—a tickle. The rats were also given the opportunity to hide while the researchers looked for them, and they proved to be especially good at coming up with creative hiding spots. Their ability to strategize was “almost spooky,” Brecht recalls.

(...) Brecht’s team first made sure the rats were comfortable with their new playground, aka a dimly lit plastic box, as well as their human playmates. The researchers then played games of “chase the hand” and tickled and the animals on their backs and bellies (see video (...) for an example from a previous experiment). In response to the tickling, the rats shimmied in delight and let out endless “giggles.”

Hecho:

Es menester construir artilugios ingeniosos
Que nos permitan proseguir edificando artificios,
Pues jamás hará la máquina por sí
Fabricar otras máquinas, no es su fin.

sub...atomic soccer? :P

Interesting, I didn't know about that. Video The Brazilian love of button football (YouTube).

Our version of that is "(bottle) cap soccer": CAMPEONATO FÚTBOL CHAPAS 1 OCTUBRE 2016 (YouTube), very similar the player moves the caps directly with their fingers.

Random foosball fun facts:

• It's called "futbolín" (tiny soccer) in Spain.

• There are 2 types (from Spanish Wikipedia):

  • The Spanish model, with the field curved downwards towards the center and the metal dolls with open legs. Picture (from here)

  • The international model, with plastic or wooden figures with their legs together (table football). Picture (from the previous link)
