CULTURE: Burning Down the House

A note to those who might be cruel to animals: you may want to think twice because payback can be a bitch.

A US man threw a mouse he had found in his home onto a pile of burning leaves - only to see it run away and burn his house down.

Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner, New Mexico, found a mouse in his home and wanted to get rid of it.

"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," he said.

Though no one was injured, the house and everything in it was destroyed.

"I've seen numerous house fires, but nothing as unique as this one," Fire Department Captain Jim Lyssy said.

That's one insurance claim form I'd like to see.

I'd say that that man "got burned".

Poor mouse. I bet he's laughing from mousey heaven, though. Unless it was a childmolesting serial killing mouse, in which case he's laughing from mousey hell.

Do each rodent type get their own hell, or would mousey hell also be populated with evil rats, gerbils, etc?

Does Pikachu count as a rodent?

And when the word "Mousey" is used in this context, is it used as an adjective of timidity and general greyish-brown coloration, like a mousey secretary, or is it a cute diminutive way of stating possession of a certain hell reserved only for mouse inhabitants?

Catholic mice go to mousey Purgatory. There's no laughing there at all.

if you want to kill a mouse, set a trap that does it or something..I mean one can argue killing it is bad regardless but at least certain traps do it instantly, not tossing it in a fire to suffer.

glad no one was hurt but perhaps he deserved it. Maybe not it was a bit extreme a lesson. I won't judge, but I can't say I feel sorry for him either. Asshole

insurance claims officer:
"so Captain Jackass, you threw a mouse into a fire to kill it, it ran into your house, and you lost everything?"

capt. jackass:
"yes sir"

insurance claims officer (now pointing and laughing):
"wow, you got yours! did you eat stupid asshole pills for breakfast? jerkoff! CLAIM DENIED!"

at least in my little world that's how it gets played out.

If this guy´d tried to shoot the mouse instead, the mouse prolly woulda disarmed him and shot his dumb ass. That´s the movie I wanna see.
