Jens, you have 2 options:

1. Make a song about the rat and then use him as a mascot.

OR

(My favourite)
Don't kill the rat!!!!!
Instead, find another male rat, toss a small piece of cheese between them and
watch them fight to the death!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: ò.Ó

well, I'm speaking too late but it doesn't care.

You didn't have to kill the poor rat, if you would take care of it, you wouldn't have to be worry about the disease, is the same shi* with the dogs, the cats and another animal.

True story: I once talked Yngwie out of shooting mice in his attic with a shotgun slug. He was thinking he should aim for the sound and shoot them from inside the house (thru the ceiling).

It was loaded with something called "Remington nitro mag slugs", he kept repeating that, and that's actually how I remember it was loaded with slugs.

It was over the phone. He referred to the mice as "goblins" even though we were speaking in Swedish. His girlfriend was crying hysterically in the background.

Yes there was alcohol involved (I was sober).

No I didn't quit the band.

You know, honestly, that really doesn't surprise me. I've heard so many stories about the old Yngwie that it makes me happy to know he is a little more sane nowadays. :lol:

Are you still friends with Yngwie? =O

I would love to see a compilation book of stories from bands. The names could all be changed and everything. Lots of crazy stuff in the world of music. Lots of amusement to go around. everyone has their moments. Everything in life is a lesson and some stick to the same lesson for a long time while other can move to new lessons.

great advice for any situation

Well .. it looks funnier now than it was in real life.

He called back half an hour later asking for advice on how to unload the shotgun. A bit scary. Girlfriend still crying (she was scared he would fire the thing by accident)

I don't know so much about firearms, but shotgun slugs really do seem a bit of overkill for mouse hunting... hmmm

http://images.google.com/images?q=%22shotgun+slug%22

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22shotg ... hunting%22 : two hits ...

The intertubes say a shotgun slug weighs about 30 grams and travels at appx half a km/second. And a mouse weighs about 25 grams.

http://www.google.com/search?&q=%2830+% ... %29+%5E2/2

So appx 4000 J of energy in the slug, which funnily enough is close to the amount needed to vaporize 25 grams of room temperature water (6500 J). So if I didn't make a mistake and if we assume all the energy of the slug was transfered to the mouse, it would be close to completely vaporized on impact. A cloud of mouse gas. Very quick and humane, but I think Mjölner is a bit less messy (not even considering the holes in the ceiling and roof)

How to hit a mouse with a shotgun slug when you have a 0.2% blood alcohol level i leave as an exercise for the reader. Hint: bring lots of ammo. And have an umbrella ready later if it starts raining on your house.

Guitar players!!!!! :)

Yes we are friends still, after I did quit the band he was pissed off but it didn't take many years until we were talking again. He stopped drinking completely now, there is not a drop backstage etc. And that's a very good thing. He was really reckless when he was young.

accidental injuries are rarer than in other hunting activities such as big game or mouse hunting.

I wonder if anyone has taken a bunch of mice heads to a taxidermist. I never knew people went on mouse hunts like that. It’s not really a scar story that would win points.

mixing shotguns and alcohol is a bad bad idea.

Incidentally, the mouse/bullet combo would fly at 369.27 m/s after the collision :D

Using conservation of energy:
(1/2)(Mass Bullet)(Velocity Bullet)^2 = (1/2)(Total Mass)(Total Velocity)^2
