I think it is funny. Some folks need to lighten up.

This upsets them, but filming a PORNO movie on campus doesn't bother them a bit.

The rodent was given a parachute. What is the fuss about?

[Lurking in Kansas]

...a parachute and then dropped the animal from their dorm window...

The guinea pig landed in a tree and survived.

Jeeze, the parachuted worked. What's the problem? It's not like they just chucked the critter out the window...

[OldEagle]

"Guinea pig" has become synonymous with "experiment". Obviously the students were successfully conducting an experiment as the pig survived. Their downfall was that they did not have a government grant. Perhaps they are conservatives and do not believe in government grants.

"As God as my witness, I thought guinea pigs could fly!"

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

tossing a guinea pig from an eighth-floor dormitory

When pigs fly???

[csvset]

Did the pig qualify for jump wings?

Every 12 year old that ever launched a mouse in a model rocket is a criminal nowadays.

---> issued 3 pairs of mousie astronaut wings myself - come and get me coppers!

Too many stupid yahoos get into university these days.

This reminds me of the jerks at St. Mary's University in Halifax who got a cat stoned on marijuana, shaved it, then dropped it from their twelfth-storey residence window.

[Revelation 911]

where is the cross cultural tolerance - they were merely tenderizing it for preparation of a south american dish

Im hungry

The guinea pig landed in a tree and survived.

What's the problem then?

[Revelation 911]

She was scared

anthropomorphic sentiment

[melbell]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...this is great!

I thanked the Lord once for a hamster that died...stupid thing...I hated it, but couldn't bear to kill it...so when it died I rejoiced. Maybe we would have gotten along better if I had let him go sky diving!!

I can't stop laughing just picturing this.

Now, in the animal's defence, they could have least used a small animal harness to hook the parachute up, so that the tape didn't rip out chunks of fur...but still...

That's freakin hilarious!

(Is it sad that I'm sitting here in my mind trying to think of safer ways to do this to my puppy??-- she would love it though)

[reagan_fanatic]

What? No back-up parachute??

[Modok]

Thanks for the post. I needed a good laugh this morning. A hawk would have just ripped the living meat off the live animal if had caught it. People today are so sonnnsitive.

[melbell]

I just keep reading this, and there's so much in it to make fun of!

""Whoever did this did it in broad daylight," Hoffacker said. "They just didn't care, and I think it is quite disturbing.""

Apparently, when this woman's mother dropped her, she forgot the parachute...

IU is in a small town - students find creative means of entertainment. My IU-grad BIL and his buddies would go out of town on a Friday night, make a dummy from their old laundry, and lay it in the middle of a road around a blind curve. Most people would stop, but one night someone just kept on going. They were picking up their laundry a mile down the road.

In my freshman year, some sicko left a "decorated" inflatable sex doll in our room as some kind of practical joke. We were freaked and tossed it out the first floor window. This turned out to be a bad idea since two women were walking by pushing baby strollers (the only time this ever happened that I can remember). The next thing you know two very angry women came storming into our room. It was a baaaaaaaaaad scene.

According to the local morning am radio wingnuts, one person was slapped with a felony cruelty to an animal charge early this morning, no further information was available.
