Mouse revenge

Did you hear about the guy in New Mexico who threw an unwanted house/attic mouse into a fire he was burning in his backyard to kill it? The mouse, having caught fire, ran back into the guy's house and set the entire structure alight. The house and its contents were destroyed. The mouse, I assume, also perished in it. But cheers to the mouse and it's "vengeance is mine attitude." If this makes even two or three evil people who would kill a mouse in such an inhumane way think twice about losing their own houses in the wake of such animal violence, I'll believe that the mouse died for a reason.
The mouse martyr.

UPDATE: The "fire marshall" is casting suspicion on this old guy's story about the mouse setting the house on fire; and says that it was instead rogue embers and sparks that ultimately burned it down. Me? I continue to go with the mouse. Just because it's nice to see the underdog (or undermouse?) win in the end.

Well if you feel that strongly about nasty little creatures with long tails, don't go to Indonisia . . .

According to Boston.com (my favorite source of news). . . "Dozens of soup vendors rallied outside an Indonesian TV station Wednesday over a news report that alleged some sellers were using rat to make meatballs for their broth."

What's on the menu in the cafe today?

I'm disappointed--no picture of flaming Mickey?

And, I hear the old man is making an appearance on Dr. Phil this week to discuss his views on animal rights.
