Mice around the World.

Thanks to a new feature in Blogger I can now see who’s reading my blog, and it appears 6 in USA and 1 in Canada. I knew that catering for the niche Mouse Market would bear fruit eventually. Who would have thought ten years ago that mice would have the savvy and the IT skills to use human technology while they’re at work, asleep or watching re-runs of Friends and Cash in the Attic. Cash in the Attic is where you sell your old valuables to buy a larger TV to watch Cash in the Attic on, which suggests humans are beginning to suffer from the same circular logic as the snake that mistakes his own tail as a juicy morsel. And that mice have far more free time to master the intricacies of how to play mpeg4 videos on Media Player, which for most humans is an impossibility. The moral is clear; don’t let your young mice watch Cash in the Attic or you’ll be bubble wrapped and ebay-ed the moment you stop providing them with bigger TVs. Many years ago in England we had Mary Whitehouse who warned about the effects of sex and violence on TV. She had this ridiculous notion that if 30 second adds influenced the sales of cars, garden furniture and shampoo the 30 minute programs in-between weren’t actually completely influence free entertainment. Silly woman. Luckily we animals were able to recognise the difference between 2D moving pictures and real life, where as humans can’t seem to tell the difference. So if you ever find your young mouselings saying, “Mummy I think that picture reminds me of our eighteenth century pewter jug and may be worth a reasonably sized piece of cheese at auction”, gnaw through the mains lead. Yes you may find yourself the other side of the room nursing singed mouthparts but it’s a small price to pay to save our species. So welcome Mice of the World, the web will soon be ours.
