    This proves they don't always win.

    They're all at it. My kids' hamster used to attack me when it was young. Now it sits and watches and waits.

    Yup it is also why they 'sniff' you (or children) when they are asleep to see if they are dead - if so they will happily feast.

    Apparently

    I think that's right. I reckon they'll rise up once they work out how to get cat food out of a tin without a human being involved.

    For the time being they're contenting themselves with low level acts of civil disobedience. Like tulipting in one's ski boot in the certain knowledge it won't be found for another 6 months, to pick an example entirely at random.

    One less muppet in this world. Look at the positives, she would have no doubt caused endless crashes on motorway driving like a lunatic. The world is better off without them. Darwin award rules!!

    This years first Darwin Award contender?

    Lion kills tourist who left car window open - BBC News

    A female tourist has been killed in a lion attack at a game park in South Africa.


    The lioness jumped through the open window of a car and mauled the woman thought to be from the US.

    The park's rules forbid visitors from driving through the lion enclosure with their windows down
