rodent revenge

This mouse got the last laugh! After a homeowner tried to dispose of a mouse by throwing it into a pile of burning leaves, the mouse responded with a big "kiss my mousey arse," ran back into the guy's house, and set the sucker on fire. The entire house and everything in it was destroyed. Kind of a kamikaze mission, if you ask me.

FORT SUMNER, N.M. - 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.

Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it.

"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," Mares said from a motel room Saturday.

Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the house.

No was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.
