Another use for ferrets
"Ferrets key to bridging the digital divide:"
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...ral-areas.html But Dylrob had better think twice before setting his little critters to work. Look at the date of the article. I'm a bit sceptical... |

Ferrets have long been employed to run cables through walls and stuff like that for the same reasons. So actually it sounds legit.
I hope they're taking precautions though. Like only doing this during the cooler part of the day. The "adventure" is payment in itself for a Ferret. You don't know how happy Rodney gets when I let him explore a room he isn't often allowed in. |

little bug used to hide things in my shoes. anything small enough to carry off but too big to fit in a shoe would get "hidden" in the bathtub.
i *knew* there was something about that place, but i just couldn't put my finger on it. |
