Never set a mouse on fire

[Knowze Gungk]

I hope his insurance refuses to cover his loss. They could call it "act of god".

 

[Irish Caesar]

Wow...tough crowd.

Well, as long as nobody's lost a house by burning tomato worms with a magnifying glass, I'm still okay.

Well I guess I'm good too if no one's house has ever burned down because they were burning ants under a magnifying glass...

This is a duplicate of the thread in H&J. Exept it's a different news source.

More accurately, that thread is a duplicate of this one. Check the times.

I'll just copy what I posted in the other thread about this:

That's what he gets for trying to kill something for no reason. He should have taken the mouse to a field or forest some distance from his home and let it go. I feel no sympathy for him and laugh in his face.

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

Serves him right.

Shoulda' just hit it with a spade.

 

[SoCalian]

haha, we were totaly alking about this in school today.

This reminds of one of the Darwin awards from Australia. Some guys drove way out in the outback and were blowing up jackrabbits by tying up dynamite to them and watching them run....until one ran under their truck.

The stupidity of some people. We certainly find ways of doing stupid things.

 

[Abaddon]

I dont really think its stupidity. I doubt the guy could have thought through the repercussions proir to tossing little mousey into the fire. What on earth are the chances of it running back in the house, managing to set the thing on fire?

Also, i smell a rat (pardon the pun) But how big a fire can a mouse start? why didnt he put it out? I think Insurance Fraud!

Upon further review...

It may be a hoax after all

I prefered the story when mouse burned down the house.

I know! It was the spirit of the mouse that set the house on fire!

as this guy found out the hard way...

The Billings Gazette

that must be gods of punishing people

 

[Maniacal]

Sucker, teach him to burn a mouse alive. I could never burn one alive. I would use a mouse trap yes, but fire no.

 

[Necromonger]

hmmmmmm, i believe the term "rodent revenge" comes to mind.

 

[Maniacal]

Even if it was a hoax I still used it the day after I read this thread in socials (history) as a current event.
