Oh, wow!

I thought the last story was crazy. This one's crazy AND funny! Check this out:

"FORT SUMNER, N.M. -- The village fire captain said he's never seen a blaze as unique as this.

A Fort Sumner, N.M., man said he caught a mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it. He had a pile of leaves burning outside, so he threw the mouse on it. The mouse caught fire and ran back into the house.

Luciano Mares, 81, talked about the event Saturday from a motel room. The blaze the mouse started destroyed the home and everything inside it."

Poor mouse -- I'm no fan of vermin, but I thought it somehow cosmically just that the mouse got a little rodent revenge. What a visual!

I'm amazed that a mouse can run while burning. I'd just fall and lay there in flames.

CL: I dunno . . . I'd probably at least roll around or something.

Ian: HA!

Robin: I'm still stuck on the visual.

LBB: Brings new meaning to the phrase "going down in flames," don't you think?
