Fat Hamster in Printer Sparks Rescue
Thu Apr 1, 7:43 AM ET  Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!



BERLIN (Reuters) - A hamster called "Teddy" sparked a police rescue mission after he climbed inside a computer printer and got stuck because he was too fat to get out again, authorities said Wednesday.

 

"Contrary to his normal habits, Teddy climbed inside a PC printer and was unable to get out because of his corpulence," police in the northern city of Flensburg said in a statement, adding that they initially thought it was an April Fool's joke.


Luckily for Teddy, a neighbor of his owner managed to free the hamster so the arriving police officer was spared the task.


"After all the commotion, the animal was already peacefully asleep again in his cage, having escaped with nothing but a few bruises," said the statement.

How totally ridiculous! I just can't think what is wrong with some people! The police nearly freeing a hamster stuck in a printer!
I think this should be posted in the jokes section! ;D ;D
LOL!
I would feel so silly if I was there, as if the police were so short of work that they had time to get a stuck hamster out of a printer!
BTW r u kidding?

I only WISH I could think this stuff up.  It would make a cool April Fools prank.  I may be taking part in someone else's prank though.  Here's the link to the story...

Probably. (I have a nice smart remark to go here referencing an earlier thread verifying his statement, but I shouldn't. ;))
