Lucky little fella. Of course, the supreme irony would be if he got out of his cage, chewed some wiring and burned down the house of his rescuers.

Okay, is this his identical twin in a very unlucky family, or couldn't they get any photos of Mike so they figured, "Well, one terrified hamster looks much like another"?

Poor, plucky little hamsters. Sick, twisted students. (referring to the second story)

Awww, you can totally tell that his little brain is saying, "Thank goodnes I was small enough to pass through the blades of the shredder, but big enough to pass along the trammel without falling through an aperture."

I like the accursed hamster family theory myself. Like the Hound of the Baskervilles, but with a modern twist: the Industrial Machinery of the Hamsters MacTavish.

If I ran an industrial shredder, I'd make damn sure it could take care of hamsters. What an embarassment.
