Dealwaiter is the web equivalent of what a waiter does at a restaurant. It waits for orders from you and fetches once it is available.

The mouse is the most common of all laboratory animals used by humans in developing aids and cures for diseases. Now, with the gene sequence accurately mapped, chances of developing novel and effective medications are high given that the mouse shares 75% of
