Thread Drift

Okay, just because I'm morbid and wanted to know... According to rodentpro.com they use CO2 to euthanize the mice. That makes sense, you want to be humane and you don't want something that will endanger the snake or whatever is having lunch.

I always figured they gave 'em a good whack. Huh.

We should probably have an entire section on the board for "drift"!

[Veronica]

I figured a whack would not fly with the humane police. Plus it wouldn't be very cost efficient to whack them individually. Can you imagine having that for a job?! Sadly, I think I actually have a few students who would think that was a cool job - Head Mouse Whacker.

"Head Mouse Whacker. "

looks good on the 1040EZ.

well, now I know what to do if attacked by mice on a ride, break out the CO2.

I used to work with mice during a statistics class...
We were testing thier ability to learn/perform after having brain surgery.
I was the lucky person who got them out of the cages every day for 2 months and made them swim in a maze.

I don't want to go into great detail, but let it suffice to say that it was

N-A-S-T-Y!!!!!!!!!!!



So, really thread drift is like free associaton???

And the best part is, this is the triathlon board. So I guess we've just scientifically proven who are the athletes with the loosest screws on the TE board!

[JoyfullySo]

I don't have ADD- I am just misunderstood. Hey!!! Look at that chicken!!!

I was wondering about that, why it's here. So do we randomly move the thread drift to other sections from time to time?

The cost efficient thing is true. The humane police--it's funny--you're killing them so snakes can eat them... makes me think of a scene in one of those two movies about the Dalai Lama that came out at the same time years ago, where the monks were frantically saving earth worms at a construction site.

I had little lizards as pets many years ago. They ate crickets. Occasionally a cricket would escape, and we'd have chirping throughout the house until it reached the end of its natural life. Fortunately, that's not very long!
