Govt To Bomb Guam With Frozen Mice To Kill Snakes
rhettb writes "In a spectacularly creative effort to rid Guam of the brown tree snake, an invasive species which has ravaged local wildlife and angered local residents, the US Department of Agriculture is planning to 'bomb' the island's rainforests with dead frozen mice laced with acetaminophen. While it might not seem difficult to purge an island of snakes, the snake's habit of dwelling high in the rainforest canopy has so far thwarted efforts to rid the island of the pest. Eradicating the snake is a priority because it triggers more than 100 power outages a year at a cost of $1-4 million and has driven at least 6 local bird species to extinction."
The insistence that some people have on perpetrating harmful bogus nonsense simply boggles the mind.
Little wonder that people offering enlightenment usually end up strung up...

There are "tylenol fanboys" with mod points. Who knew?

Actually I don't vote. Just so people that say stupid things like "You vote for them!" are horribly wrong. Jerk.
So basically, -1 troll/offtopic is really slashdots way of saying "I hate that you thought of something before me."

Since I am not a US citizen, you are more likely to have voted for this person than me. However well done in taking an extremely general comment very personally. I can just imagine what it must be like to sit as a passenger in your car in heavy traffic, and I despair for any partner you have or may have in the future. May your life continue to be full of rage and hate. Certainly this will lead to an early grave.
On the other hand, consider the possibility that the world does not care about you at all, and internet comments are not all malicious attempts at slandering your "good name" since frankly you are not important enough for anyone to give a shit about.
