Charred mouse burns house

The 9th of January 2006
 
A MOUSE has wreaked revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves - running ablaze back into the man's house and setting it alight.
Luciano Mares, 81, of New Mexico said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it, reports AP.

"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," Mr Mares told AP from a motel room.

The burning mouse ran beneath a window of the house and the flames quickly spread throughout the house.

All the home's contents were destroyed.

Unseasonably dry and windy conditions have charred more than 21,000ha and destroyed 10 homes in south-eastern New Mexico in recent weeks.

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

Question: If you could live forever, would you and why?
Answer: I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever. -Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss Universe contest
