AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around an innovative and controversial mouse trap invented by Ted M. Moss, which not only kills mice but also crushes and incinerates them. The trap uses an electric eye to detect the mouse, activates a harpoon to kill it, and then crushes it before incineration. It automatically resets for the next catch. The conversation humorously expands to the implications of such a device, including fictional fast-food offerings like the "McMousetrap mousewrap," and the absurdity of a mouse-rich diet being promoted by the FDA. Animal rights concerns are raised, particularly by a fictional PETA representative, who argues against the normalization of eating mice. The thread also touches on the backlash against the idea of mice as a protein source, with satirical commentary on societal views and health implications. Overall, the discussion blends humor with critiques of modern food practices and animal rights issues.

Proper disposal of the harpoons is critical - the depleted uranium core.

With all the tongue-in-cheek silliness, I had to check this out myself.. Sure enough U.S. Patent
4,669,216 "Apparatus for trapping and disposing of rodents" with harpoons and all, issued in 1987.

which is not far from Patent 4,953,320 A cockroach trap that cooks its captives.

or Patent 5,953,853 A rodent trap: once animal is captured, electrocutes the little fellow. :frown:

[I was looking for "sticky wheels". :smile:]
Reports of mice revolts have been coming in, almost daily, explaining unimaginable events. The website mousetrap-cars.com has been very successful since their conception selling mouse trap propelled cars as fast as they can make them. The mice have been using the vehicles to play pranks on the humans who invade their territory. As soon as the humans fall asleep, the mice set up booby traps around the house using their mousetrap powered cars. Then they watch patiently, waiting for the "innocent" humans to fall right into their trap. One incident from Kansas reported that a man broke his neck from falling down the stairs because of one of these so called traps.

Awesome thread by the way!

Yeah, if this doesn't win zooby the "funniest Member" award, I don't know what will.
