Article is new and long enough, and Earwig's looks good. Looking at the first hook, it is interesting, matches the article, and sourced: The heads were serially sectioned ... The total number of sections per head came to approximately 1600. I worry that you're trying to put too much information into the hook. As the most interesting part is that the mice were sliced up into 1,600 slices, the reason for this being done (lesions from cosmic rays) could be omitted. Also, because Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, and Phooey aren't common knowledge, people aren't going to immediately realise that they are mice, so it might be a good idea to link "five mice" and pipe it to the article about them. But it's your choice after all.
