It is the number of identical videos that gets me... and then highly ranked members vote for both of them instead of exercising their discard muscle!

It makes it look like people just upvote videos without even watching them.. imagine that.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Disproving-Intelligent-Design-with-a-Mouse-Trap this is a dupe.. how exciting!

I think these types of dupes might be more down to people putting stupid tags/ not taking time to think what someone else might have used.

This is kind of pathetic. I've had a mouse trapped in the bathtub before, and they couldn't QUITE jump high enough to get out, but they kept trying over and over. This dog is just standing there being a sook. Spend a little effort, you stupid little dog. gr.

(PS, I fed the mouse some cheese, and set it free in the woods a short distance away)

(PPS, I don't think I would feed this dog before setting it in the woods. Stupid dog)

This is why I keep loaded mouse traps in my back pockets.

wtf is rat glue?

Referring to glue traps, which are usually small trays of glue that mice or rats walk onto and become stuck. My parents tried glue traps when I was a kid. They were supposed to have a poison in them that is rapidly absorbed by the rodent in order to kill it, but it doesn't work. They definitely catch mice, but they usually die from blood loss after chewing their own limbs off or, if several mice are caught in one trap, chewing each other's limbs off. My father ended up killing the few survivors with a hammer in the morning. We threw the traps out and went back to the classic mouse trap after that. It's possibly the most grotesque way to deal with a mouse problem.

Build a better mouse trap, and the necrophiliac mice will beat a path to your door.

No shit. Talking about everyday consumer goods, that we could do without, and that would not even be available, we're it not for Sam and his inbred family....clothes lines, mouse traps, pantyhose, razors, pet foods, timepieces, toys, shoes, etc.

although the mouse trap rape is pretty funny.....

what's wrong piggyback, you losing your edge????

There's an old 60's high school science film of them doing this with a roomful of mouse traps with two ping pong balls poised on each one.....they throw one ball into the room for the reaction to begin....

OMFG. Mouse Trap is from 1963?!?!?! WHOA.

The thing this guy insists on not understanding is that evolution also removes the extra parts. Lets turn his mousetrap analogy in his face, a mouse trap needs to be set, it needs fingers in order to become a trap, so when a mouse comes along as says "this trap cant possibly be in working order, there are no fingers around, thats because when its set, it doesnt need the fingers anymore.

An organism that evolves will not only "think" of ingenious ways to protect itself, find food or reproduce, but it will be a shameless boss when it comes to paying the wages, anything that it could do without, it loses, so once the mechanism, built gradually, is "complete", selection starts chipping away the parts that isnt strictly needed anymore, and thats how you get "irreducable complexity"

Perhaps a better title along the same lines would be - "Building a Better Mouse Trap"

yo LB, sounds like you got the most insidious of better mouse traps, the sticky trap.....the squeakety squeak squeak from the other room, leads you to a little fella, not so scary now, as its little face is half stuck in the goo, and the more they struggle, the more pathetic.....hence, the reaction of the humane you, to want to free the thing, by jerkin' its tail and removing hair and skin, as more shrieks of helpless oblivion ensue......snap trap does the job, as does ol' sparky here, without the "oh god my karma's fucked really bad now feeling", of yer flash of yer next life as a hungry ghost.....

i thought i got a humane mouse trap once ... but i didn't have the stomach to peel him off!

he got chucked into the woods ... stickyboard and all
