As for the mouse, much like everyone else said: Serves the guy right!>:(



I hate to burst everyone's bubble of fun, but the initial story isn't true. The mouse was innocent of setting the home on fire.

News:
The mouse accused of starting the fire that burned down a home in New Mexico has been posthumously cleared.
Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he found the rodent inside his house and wanted to get rid of it, so he tossed it outside into a pile of leaves he was burning.

However, according to the story published and broadcast around the world, the burning mouse ran back toward the house and apparently set the home ablaze.

Nobody suffered injuries. The home was destroyed. Investigators now say some embers from the burning leaves sparked the blaze that destroyed the house.
