A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire (via CNN).

The only trusted-and-true method I know of ridding oneself of rodentia that doesn't require either a cat or a terrier (preferably one with two functioning eyeballs - you should see Ankle-Biter chase a mouse) involves a Shop-Vac, preferably one that was most recently used to suck up the booze that got into the carpet when the movers dropped the box containing most of the liquor cabinet.

You think I sometimes talk in circles? You should have seen those mice when Alpha turned them loose outside. They did a fair job of heading for cover, but it definitely wasn't a straight line.
