< DaDemon> Me? I'm not allowed on campus. Restraining order and all that.

< reportingsjr> DaDemon, why do you have a restraining order on campus...?

< DaDemon> reportingsjr: Long story that involved 3 other people and 5000 lab mice.

< reportingsjr> I have lots of time.

< reportingsjr> because that just sounds awesome :D

< redofrac> Do tell.

< DaDemon> Its kind of self explanatory.

< reportingsjr> explain!!

< DaDemon> Anyway, the campus near me is pretty much one main building for most classes.

< DaDemon> This one building got a new ventilation system a couple years back.

< DaDemon> They also got a new lab wing.

< DaDemon> The new vent system ran through every room.

< DaDemon> I organize and acquire 5000 lab mice, and then I'm in jail.

< DaDemon> Tada.

< Nadando> ... what happened with the lab mice?

< DaDemon> Most of them were lost in the furnace.

< DaDemon> :\

< reportingsjr> 0.0

< DaDemon> ...Eventually.

< Konraden> Others are resting on white sandy beaches in the Keys, living in mice conds.

< Konraden> Be creative.

< DaDemon> They did about $50k in damage.

< reportingsjr> oh man!

< reportingsjr> what kind of damage can they do?

< DaDemon> reportingsjr: Have you ever seen 5000 mice? Look at lemmings.

< Nadando> shit on stuff

< reportingsjr> I mean, I wouldn't think they would be in there for that long

< Eule> reportingsjr: chewing on things, pooping

< DaDemon> They can also squeeze through an opening 1/4 the size of their body.

< DaDemon> Which is exactly the side of the vent covers.

< reportingsjr> question: where do you /get/ 5k lab mice?

< reportingsjr> and how in the HELL did you get them in the vents before being stopped?

< DaDemon> reportingsjr: I paid 20 bucks to 5 different security guards at offsite laboratories.

< DaDemon> reportingsjr: The roof vents.

< relsqui> DaDemon: I'm more curious how you stored and transported five thousand mice

< DaDemon> relsqui: With a big enough box, you can transport anything.
