Apparently the recent news about making mice immortal isn't new:

They've already done this with dolphins. It involves feeding them seagulls. Unfortunately, the lead scientist was arrested when he stepped across a lion sleeping in the doorway to the lab, after catching a few seagulls.

The charge: transporting gulls across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.

Lawks. I heard the same punchline, um, thirty years ago? Attached, obviously, to a different joke. And I only understood it because I'd just recently read By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept.

I have no idea what the original joke might have been. All I have ever remembered is the pun. I'm glad it's still going around; it's a good pun, whatever the complications of its excuse.

I've heard that one before, except the setup was a lot longer, and the punchline was 'transporting young gulls across a state lion for immoral sexual porpoises'.
