    Not too different from paying the homeless and junkies to run in outward spirals in a field in central park to test for dog crap.

    Well, after his poor performance as Dumbledore in the newer Harry Potter films, I'm glad Gambon found a new job.

    How long before the rats realize that they can escape by guiding the humans onto land mines?

    Wasn't there a county that offered monkeys to the US to blow up landmines in Iraq?

    I believe that was Morocco's contribution to the coalition of the willing (snicker, snicker).

    @tande04: Probably India. IIRC, they have such a problem w/monkeys, they have been hiring larger higher primates to sit in the train stations to keep the smaller monkeys away.

    Yes, there was. And we in fact took delivery on said monkeys. Unfortunately, rather than deploy them in Iraq as intended, they were instead assigned en masse to head up network TV programming positions.
