You ok mate?

EDIT: The side bar article http://www.fnal.gov/pub/today/archiv...y06-06-19.html is kinda humorous. Even Government Nerds have a sense of humor.

Could have been a rat, or a mouse, or a squirrel.......

Seriously This goes on especially in more rural locations such as airbases etc: At a rural hilltop Suisun City plant making fighter ejection canopies with explosive technology, we had an enormous raccoon problem; only equaled some years later by a rat infested Treasure Island huge plane hanger with a show's entire hospital-set subject to gnawing on the miles of electric cable for all the lights and cameras. You'd walk in suddenly to use the can and you could hear a cavalry stampede of rodents' claws scampering through the ceiling on the upper level. A wonder I didn't get bubonic plague or hantavirus! http://www.livescience.com/51928-plague-cases-california-rise.html http://www.ocvcd.org/bulletins/Hantavirus%20Illness.pdf

Hardly surprising it didn't survive.

When I saw this news I thought the subversive little rodent was somehow involved too.
