In todays paper on the IC 'we hear'...
Aficionados of weather reports might have noticed a lack of information coming out of Rottnest in recent days. Mice have eaten through the communication cables at the BOM's weather station on the island.
Neil Bennett, the bureau's WA public and marine services boss, said he had technicians at the site yesturday trying to work out how much damage had been done by the wire-gnawring rodents.
The information on temp, rainfall, WIND and air pressure was particularly popular among boaties. "The mice have done us," said Mr Bennett, who could not give an estimate of when normal transmission would be resumed.

It's a conspiracy I tell you. They are just covering for the big science experiments in collaboration with the aliens that are having noticeable effects on the weather out there. Seriously, when I was out kiting on Sunday I saw something moving through the water that didn't look like any terrestrial vessel, just out on the horizon.

Oops, forgot my medication this morning.

Hey, never mind them Higs Bosun particles and Large Hedroom Colliders. If I could harness the power of good Python wind-up, I'd solve all our earthly energy needs.

And I could keep them filthy k'niggets away from our shwubbery and its small furry animals.

Did those alien mice attack anyone over there???

Maybe a little harmless probing for 'science experiments' perhaps?

Hope you kids are alright.

Sunny QLD is always a quick flight away from nasty, nasty alien mice!
