Australians chew mice to win holiday

[emad]

BBC news snip:

Two Australian men may be prosecuted after they chewed live mice and bit off their tails as part of a pub competition to win a holiday.
The RSPCA called the incident "outrageous" and said it would seek the maximum penalty against the men.

RSPCA chief inspector Byron Hall said they could face two years in prison and fines of A$75,000 (US$52,050).

The Brisbane hotel where the contest took place condemned it and said it would not happen again.

Mr Hall said both men put mice in their mouths and bit off their tails. One of the men went on to further chew his mouse then spat it out.

1. Only in my home town...

the Exchange hotel is a pretty crappy bar anyway. Drank there a lot in the mid 1980's until I learned to shower regularly.

We have no shortage of idiots where I come from, though... I recall a time at boarding school where some guys dared this mad kid to swallow half a pound of butter and a frog. He threw up the butter - and a frog's leg.

Moral of the story... don't encourage an idiot.
