    Parachuting mice

    BBC News - Battling the brown tree snake in Guam

    One effort has involved air-dropping mice that have been laced with poison and fitted with parachutes out of helicopters.

    How difficult is it to get a mouse into a parachute?

      Should be easy if they tell them they're being dropped into a special mouse paradise with lots of nubile female mice gagging for it.

      If on the other hand they tell them the truth...

        Not difficult at all, the real problem is that they never pull the cord in time!
