A mother mouse and a baby mouse are walking along, when all of a sudden, a cat attacks them.

The mother mouse goes, "BARK!" and the cat runs away.

"See?" says the mother mouse to her baby. "Now do you see why it's important to learn a foreign language?"

Three mice are sitting at a bar in a pretty rough neighborhood late at night trying to impress each other about how tough they are.

The first mouse orders a scotch, gulps it down and slams the glass on the bar. He turns to the second mouse and says, "When I see a mousetrap, I lie on my back and set it off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, bench press it 20 times to work up an appetite, and then make off with the cheese."

The second mouse orders two shots of bourbon, slams them down and nearly breaks the glasses on the bar. He turns to the first mouse and replies, "Yeah, well, when I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can, take it home, grind it into a powder, and add it to my coffee each morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day."

The first mouse and the second mouse then turn to the third mouse. The third mouse lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I don't have time for this mess. I gotta go home and scare the cat."

lol..okay...Brad, my friend, you seriously need to get out more...hahahah

Brad:

I think I felt more comfortable with you before you got in touch with your feelings . . . . .

And, just a bit of encouragement . . . when Terri tells you to get out more often . . . . sheesh brother, you're way past due!!

�you seriously need to get out more...hahahah

What would you recommend, Terri? Should I go out and catch an opera�perhaps Die Fledermaus?

Admittedly, that might be a little too cultured for me. Maybe catch a show by Modest Mouse.

Of course, by "getting out more" you might have the exercise value of getting our more in mind. In that case you're sure to approve of Mouserobics.

And if you think it best that I not go out alone (perhaps a wise thing) then I'm sure I could talk Phil or JB into a trip to The Whole Mouse Catalog which is, and I quote, "�a central place to find numerous Internet resources of particular interest to scientific researchers using mice or rats in their work".

I've got more. You can stop me at any time. I think.

And, just a bit of encouragement . . . when Terri tells you to get out more often . . . . sheesh brother, you're way past due!!

WC, is that a nice way of asking "Am I a man or a mouse?" If so, then I've got to tell you that I've recently read this and therefore am no longer intent on "getting out" with all the usual meanings that implies for the male of the species. They have claws�and sharp teeth. They can be quite catty too. No thanks.

Hmmmm...lemme see now. The opera's out, but Modest Mouse might be fun. Mouserobics might get tiring after a while. However, the Whole Mouse Catalog was interesting, and even included one of my favorite links www.hamsterdance.com .

But now for sheer entertainment pleasure, you simply must go here:

Penguin Smack and Slingshot Santa are 2 of my favorites.

Terri, you�ve definitely one-upped me with your Hamster Dance link. There�s just no way I can top that�unless, of course, I resort to the Mother of all mouse links, which is an article on accident prevention as presented by the Rat & Mouse Club of America.

quote:

An ounce of prevention...". Let me start by telling of a few near accidents which could have hurt my rats, even though the rats were in their cages. First, as a brand new rat owner, I gave baby Nellie a toy, a child's rubber ball the size of a ping-pong ball. The next morning, to my horror, there was only half a ball left. I was sure she was going to die, even though I found little rubber pieces all over. She must have eaten some. I was lucky nothing happened. Warning: although rats have iron stomachs, watch out for playthings or materials you rats have access to that could cause an intestinal impactation if eaten. I am not sure whether we can depend on the rats' intelligence not to eat harmful materials.

Careful with those spare mouse balls, people (and I mean the ones in computer mice). They can be deadly. More�

quote:

One of my very close near tragic accidents happened when I had a mother and eight babies in a tank on a coffee table [on a coffee table.?]. I was fussing in the ratroom [this person actually has a ratroom?] when the doorbell rang and a neighbor came to chat [this neighbor must not know about her coffee table habits or the rat room]. For one minute, I had not closed the door to the ratroom and my dog sneaked in there [brave dog � suppose he was a rat terrier?]. He pushed the tank almost over the edge of the table while trying to catch some rats. This threatened to make the tank crash down onto the floor. For everyone with dogs and cats, be super watchful [and if you keep rats then be SUPER DUPER watchful]. I now have a toddler's gate [oh, brother] in addition to the regular door to ensure that the dog can't get in. There have been many sad cases where pet rats were killed by other household pets. Don't let that happen in your home.

More Flash games. Neat! Now I have no reason whatsoever to go out of doors. Thanks, Terri.

There's a Rat and Mouse Club?!...I think I'll just back sloowwwllly away from that...LOL!

Of course, you can always have the illusion that you're out of doors.

Perfect.

Crescent Lake is one of my favorite places. It�s a great drive around the lake. I didn�t know they had a web cam.

Remember, Phil, you asked for it:

Meditation with a Mouse

But you probably didn�t ask for this:

Yoga for �Mouse Arms�

Terri, give this true wildlife account a read.

Strange Bedfellows Indeed

Nice webcam! That is beautiful.


Terri, give this true wildlife account a read.


Awwww....lol...just goes to show ya, Malcolm (Jurassic Park) was right..unpredictability is and Mother Nature finds a way .

These stories are kinda cute, too. www.dogsinthenews.com/issues/0205/articles/020514a.htm

Blessings,

The Mouse Knight. I read the first two chapters and it's not bad. I think kids would be sure to like it.

That article about the dog (or was that a big rat?) and kittens was funny. We had an English Springer Spaniel that would let this one cat do almost anything to it. The cat loved sleeping top of the dog's back. I'd seen cats and dogs snuggling together but had never seen anything like that. It was hilarious.

Man alive, I'm really glad I don't have to work that hard (Mouse Arms) to meditate!

Man alive, I'm really glad I don't have to work that hard (Mouse Arms) to meditate!

I don't know what to say to that except perhaps:

quote:

Genetically speaking, man and mouse are nearly identical: the "Wee sleekit, cow'rin', tim'rous beastie" of fields, houses and churches shares 99% of its genes with us. Out of some 30,000 genes, only 300 have been found so far, which are unique to one or the other species. Evolutionary theorists have proposed that we shared a common ancestor - 75 to 125 million years ago, in the early era of the dinosaurs! We even share the gene which produces a tail, although in humans it is usually not "switched on" (although there are notable tales (pun intended..) of cases where this dormant gene has been activated - see http://www.visual-evolution.com/tails.htm for some photos of Humans with Tails.) Not surprisingly, over 90% of diseases which have a genetic component in humans, have also been found in mice, making them even more useful than previously thought, for medical research. Interestingly enough, the mouse genome is about 14% smaller than the 3 billion "base pairs" of the human genome. // Amongst the differences, Mice have many more genes for smell than humans, and they have more genes to produce frequent and large litters.

November 18 is Mickey Mouse's birthday.

Americans buy about 5 million things that are shaped like Mickey Mouse, or have a picture of Mickey Mouse on them, in the course of a day.

The typical laboratory mouse runs 2.5 miles per night on its treadmill.

Until the 16th century, carrots were black, green, red and purple - until a Dutch horticulturist discovered some mutant yellow seeds that produced a freaky orange color that caught on big, worldwide!!

Some species of buzzard attract mates by eating cow dung, which contains a yellow pigment that turns the area around their eyes into a yellow mask! Scientists postulate that to a female buzzard, a bright yellow mask proves that her mate is healthy enough to overcome the multitudes of parasites present in such malodorous fare (or perhaps its just the "macho" thing for buzzards to do...?).

The ancient Romans were fond of eating mice.

Off-topic, but...you GOTTA see this:

http://photo.thetechzone.com/computers.php?photo=7610

Oh, man. That's a big cat. Do you suppose the woman holding it is just a "little person" or something and we're getting a false perspective?

But to think of the size of mouse that think could catch and eat. Big rats would be no problem. Chihuahuas wouldn�t even be much of a problem. They�re kinda hard to tell from rats anyway. I know I�ve surely insulted some Chihuahua lovers out there, but the facts are the facts. And surely you must love them because they�re so ugly and rat-like in the first place, right?

I guess that's the best place to put this one.

As Tevia says in Fiddler on the Roof, "it's not every day one gets a compliment like that."

That's funny...and somewhat appropriate. But if they ever lampoon Bush they're gonna have to go Texas sized.

Pumkin pie anyone?

Scott Palmer took top honors at the 12th annual Rhode Island Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers Championship (search). Joel Holland won the annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off.

The world record is a 1,446-pound pumpkin grown last year by Al Eaton, of Ontario, Canada, according to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (search).

"Best day of my life. I got my family here, helped me grow it all year, what else is there to say?" said Palmer, who took home $3,500 as the victor.

Holland said his pumpkin could make roughly 600 pumpkin pies but instead will be displayed in a parade in Half Moon Bay this coming weekend, then carved into a jack-o'-lantern for Halloween.

Cool! I know Joel Holland...or at least I can say I've met him several times. My older brother used to be into growing giant pumpkins. Joel knew all the tricks and was quite generous in sharing them.

In their quest for the world's heavyweight champion, some pumpkin growers will do almost anything.

quote:

During July and August an Atlantic Giant pumpkin can gain 30 pounds a day. "There's nothing that grows faster than a giant pumpkin," says Ron Nelson, a Washington state grower. He should know. His pumpkin was well over 900 pounds last year when it literally exploded just nine days before the international weigh-off. "It's shell simply couldn't stand the stress," said Hugh Wiberg, a New England grower. "God never intended pumpkins to be pushed to such limits." Although Nelson says he handled the tragedy well, other growers say he was bereft. "He didn't sleep for two nights," said Wiberg.

Osama at the Pearly Gates . . .

When Osama bin Laden died, he was met at the Pearly Gates by George Washington, who slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!"

Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose, and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed."

James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin, and said, "This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!"

Thomas Jefferson was next, beat Osama with a long cane, and snarled, "It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence."

The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe, and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist leader.

As Osama lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared. Bin Laden wept and said, "This is not what you promised me."

The Angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What did you think I said?"
