Funny and ironic, but disappointing. Frankly, I think that mice don't belong in human homes at all, and I think he was perfectly justified in trying to kill it. Too bad he didn't think of a more effective way.

There are better ways of killing something than burning alive. A good instant squash with a heavy brick or frying pan would have been far more merciful. If you can't repell mice by nonlethal means such as ultrasonics, you could at least kill them without resorting to methods out of Fangoria magazine. And, considering how long it takes for something burning to die, the guy's thoughtlessness was clearly coupled with indeed not thinking.

that's cool as hell.

I just don't understand why he thought that was a good idea.

Hmm clicking on this thread I was just remembered the Romans would fry door mice and eat it as deseart and when i read it i was like revenge!

The mouse got mention on The Tonight Show! Jay Leno commented on it, calling the guy an idiot, and the mouse got applause.

If I had been that guy, I would have kept the mouse thing a secret.

"Dude...sorry about your house, man. What caused the fire?"

"Oh...uh...it was an...electrical fire."

Me and my brother burned a couple of mouses before and nothing happned. The mouse just kept making a wierd yet satisfying squeel and it started jumping all around the box. It was just plain bad luck what happened to that guy.

Some people are just sadistic.

yes they are. But I was young at the time and my brother is the one that lit up the mouse I just watched. Now I just stab the mouse if their still alive after the mouse trap got them.

I remember doing some pretty horrific things to small bugs when I was a young child. The bit about children being innocent--don't believe it. I'm a much better person today than I was twenty five years ago.

Never give a boy a magnifying glass during a sunny day...

Poor bugs...

Haha, not only did I do that to ants, but with my army men toys too, ahh good times good times.
