electric rodents
My brother and cousin were up today, bringing me an 85 gallon tank. After we got it moved, my brother saw my gerbils and noticed I had a white one, so I took her out so he could see her closer. As I was telling him that she was getting old, he reached out to pet her nose, and zapped her with static electricity. The poor old thing literally did a back flip out of my hand and onto the floor, where she took a few steps and just sat there, stunned. Once she was back in the cage, we all had to sit down because we were laughing so hard! I haven't seen her move that fast in months. Poor little girl, I'm surprised she didn't have a heart attack!
