This week I cornered a rat in my office and made him apologize for doing something stupid...I think the 4 legged ones would be easier to train... - Nosila, 2008-10-17: 22:17:00

Hahaha...I just detected mouse #2- a close relative of #1, i guess. Time to set up the strongbox again. - metrohumanx, 2008-10-18: 06:40:00
