The mummified mouse in a vintage tortoise trap

Something dead funny for the squeekend

If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook or FriendFeed etc you’ll probably know all about the cunning cat that nobbled my lunch yesterday. Dam that hungry thieving cat. Anyway that got me thinking about the headless mice that the blood-thirsty cats keep bringing in. And I remembered the tail of the emaciated mouse...

This time last year we were raiding the outlaws attic for a vintage pram and vintage pushchair and dusting them down when we stumbled upon a box of musty vintage toys. Don’t ask me about vintage toys, chairs and eBay btw, that’s another long tale for another day. Judging by the droppings and gnawed nature of the fluffy bears in the musty box, most of the stuff had been nibbled by mischievous mice or rats.

Anyway, to cut the grisly tail short, hey presto, we found the mouse, jumped on a vintage Ercol chair, the perpetrator had been literally caught in the act. We estimated via DNA / crime lab testing / guessing etc that this mummified criminal mouse has been trapped in his vintage plastic tortoise tomb about 25 years. Cruel. Priceless. Taking the Mickey Mouse. Vintage. I wonder what he’d fetch on eBay? Should I submit it for Frieze 2010?

Just nuts: mental brilliant bike tricks and crazy horse ideas

Feeling too sick today from mustard and coffee OD and squash court burns but this put a smile on my sorry face. Check out these mental brilliant bike tricks. Danny MacAskill the mentalist on the bike unsuprisingly says "You don't try to drop off 13ft railings right away, you develop a technique. At a certain height, the landing will be heavy, so you just try to hang on." No shit Sherlock. From Wired.

Ohh and in case you missed it - wizzing past at 110mph - check out the one horse power car ---> thanks to @DeleteLondon / Guardian. Now that's a genuinely stupid idea. Completely riddiculous.

Suddenly there is no need for a normality restore button. OMG and I just saw eight UFO's flying in formation - in the sky.
