rodents beware!
2008-06-06 14:43:00 Shai the demon kitty strikes again. For the last couple of weeks, we’ve been hearing a scuffling noise coming from our kitchen. D pulled the fridge out and took the bottom panel off from under the over, but we couldn’t find anything. Both cats were totally obsessed with that particular area though, ...
How to Deter Rodents and Other Gifts Women Don?t Want
2008-05-12 11:48:00 With Mother’s Day behind us some of us went to sleep feeling appreciated and understood and some of us went to sleep wondering what attracted us to the caveman we married and produced children with in the first place. Women generally shop based on what they would like to receive and tend to be ...
Japanese researchers train rodents to use tools
2008-03-28 00:00:00 {mosgoogle right}A research team has successfully trained rodents to use tools, suggesting that the use of tools is more of a general ability than originally thought.Researchers from the Riken Brain Science Institute performed experiments on tool use by degus, a type of rodent. It has already been confirmed that primates such as chimpanzees and gorillas, and certain types of birds such as crows, can use tools. Researchers suspected that degus would be able to use tools because they ...
Nightly Ramble: Circle the Wagons, Kinda drastic, ain’t it?, Rodents
2008-02-08 22:46:00 I note with interest, Mark Levin saying “I think one important focus of Reagan conservatives should be to do all they can to protect as many Republican seats in the House as possible. There needs to be at least one elected part of our government that might be in a position to stem what could be a very unpleasant four years.” Funny you should say that, Mark, given that’s exactly what the Swamp Stompers are all about. Of COURSE it’s drastic, Billy, and for reasons I’ve already raised here, when I originally raised Coulter’s comments on the matter. Desperate times, requiring desperate measures. Postulate a machine that must be kept running 24 hours per day, that is failing. As a computer support professional I can tell you that often as not the best way to get it out of the failure mode it’s in is to cold start the thing… take it offline for a brief period. I would regard what Perry’s talking about here as a control-alt-delete, in...

Rodents and other creatures that go bump in the night
2007-12-26 15:32:00 What would you do if you were living next door to what I am? You would think you would enjoy living to a house that is going to sell for over $400,000. I am at my wits end and am looking for solutions of what to do before these "residents" decide that they want to move in with me (which will happen before winters end). When that happens,5 Zoom(s)

Serendipity - I Don't Really Like Rodents
2007-11-15 21:46:00 With My Frrrozen Haute Chocolate The New York City health department apparently agreed, when they shut down Serendipity 3 last night for a whole range of quite gross health violations. I guess the lesson here is that you can get just as sick from a TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR dessert as you can from a three dollar hot dog off the street (except THOSE vendors are really closely regulated).

Rodents are Size Queens
2007-03-02 01:37:01 “The data for rodents seem pretty clear cut,? said study author Steve Ramm, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Liverpool, UK. ?Species where sexual competition between males is most intense also tend to have the longest penises.? Dr. Ramm continues “This discovery is incredibly depressing for me. My penis is smaller than the average rat’s… but I’m a grower not a shower.” Via PhysOrg.com

The World's First Surfing Mice - The Radical Rodents
2007-02-06 11:35:01 These mice are awesome! It is just so cute. They do a pretty good job of surfing, but I have to wonder how they trained them to do this. I can't see the mice wanting to learn this on their own, although it would keep them pretty safe from cats. What cat is going to jump into the water to get them.Tags: surfing, mice, youtube, video, videorambler
Financial Predators: Vermin, Rodents and Other Insect Pests
2006-10-29 20:33:00 While there are predators all around us, we generally do not think of our financial providers as predators. Typical providers we might use include banks, financial centers (the fancy name some banks call themselves today), credit unions, mortgage brokers, and mortgage bankers to name a few.With thousands of people going online and starting home-based Internet Marketing businesses daily, many quickly develop a need for more capital to build their new part-time, second-income enterprise. Some inexperienced newcomers fail to budget properly and soon find themselves in over their head.Their next likely stop is to find a lender. I was stunned yesterday to get in my post office box one of those new, fancy, 6-by-9-inch oversized postcards with this screaming headline on the slicked up front side: Get $5,000 by tomorrow!If I did not know better, I would have thought I was reading one of the exaggerated opportunities that pops up on my monitor every day, you know, the one that says "Join...
