“The Dumbest Smart Person”

from JoeUser Forums

We had a mouse in our attic.  My wife, who grew up in the country, hates mice and wanted me to kill it. But I convinced her to let me capture the mouse.

So I put up this special mouse trap in the attic and this morning at 5am I heard noise in the attack. I leaped out of bed, went up in the attic and got my mouse and took this video.

Then, I took the mouse downstairs into the kitchen and put him in a fishbowl to transport him to the field near the office.  Then I went back upstairs to gather my stuff.

When I returned…the fish bowl was empty.

Turns out…Mice can jump really far.

So now the mouse is somewhere in our house. Probably in the kitchen.

I still say Willard would be the best though.  You'll probably have to swear off sex for awhile, though.  hehe

Poor brad.

How exactly does a mouse escape a fish bowl?
Very easily- mice can jump vertically more than 12 inches (depending on their size).  That was a huge mouse, so I'm sure she could easily just jump right out.

Don't worry- mice only have 5-6 babies per litter

yea, but they have them every 2 months!

Yep, mich are jumpy little creatures.

As for litter size, the record I know of from a research facility was a mouse that had 32 babys in one litter. but that was an inbred strain, not a wild, but litters of up to ten are common.

Gestation in a mouse is three weeks (21 days), after that its three weeks until they wean themselves, and three weeks after that that they are fertile - so thats a new generation born every twelve weeks or three months, but in that time mouse 1 has had a total of 4 litters......

But as long as you only have ONE mouse, your fine. and that guy looked like a male from your vid.

Yes, I know far, far to much about mice.

I didn't get a good look at it, and thought it was just a ROUS

And here i thought they didn't exist (a heartbeat later a ROUS the size of Saint Bernard tackles me to the ground)

Seriously this does have to be a quest now. 

 

Also, mice are evil.  But cats are worse.  I have one, I know.  Do not get a cat.

That is true of breeding mice, but:

Mice are fertile every 3-4 days. Are pregnant for 20-21 days. And are VERY fertile as soon as they give birth so if you keep the male and female together she will most likely have a litter every 21 days or so as long as both are interested in breeding.

In the wild it is kind of hard to separate the sexes.  But as you say, as long as it is only ONE mouse, there is no breeding. ;)

So the mouse will suddenly activate the genes that allow it to reproduce asexually?

Well... another mouth to feed. Whats wrong with mice? They aint that bad...

Reply #41 from Elemental Forums Top

You should train it to catch mice. I'd like to see your wife complain about that one.

Reply #42 from Elemental Forums Top

Apologies if this has already been suggested but you need to include a quest in honour of this lol. One where you have to resolve a land despute between a mouse and a frog. Either of which may or not be mythical sub-species lol.

the best part was the ending:

you thought you could outsmart me, i am almost twice as smart as you

 

bwhahaha

I would be in the doghouse (with no roof & it pouring rain) if this happened to me.

 

Good luck Frogboy!

:waaaa:

I take it you didn't like board games, Brad?

Any child knows the best the way to catch a mouse is with an overally elaborate and complicated method that borders of the inane. And, as any child knows, once a mouse has infested your house the only solution is to befriend the mouse and open a cheese factory because most mice posses near limitless intelligence and cunning. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the mouse is knawing through choice floor boards as we speak as part of an incredibly well thought out Brad-trap that will result in you suffering an embarresing combination of slips, spills and falls.
You're children will be endlessly entertained, though :)
