RIP Casper A cat which became famous for catching the same bus every day for four years has been run over and killed - while crossing the road to catch its daily lift. Crafty Casper died in a hit and run accident as he tried to board the No3 service. He hopped on the bus around 10am every morning and sat on the back seat throughout its entire 11 mile route. The freeloading Feline would travel around his home city of Plymouth, Devon, for up to an hour before arriving back at the same stop. But after an estimated 20,000 miles on the bus Casper was killed crossing the road to catch his daily ride. Grandmother-of-three Susan added: 'I ed him Casper because he had a habit of vanishing like a ghost. 'But then some of the drivers told me he had been catching the bus. 'I couldn't believe it at first, but it explained a lot. He loved people and we have a bus stop right outside our house so that must be how he got started.' 'He'd queue up in line good as gold - it'd be 'person, person, person, cat, person, person'.'

That is an AWESOME story. I mean sad but awesome.

then you may like A cat has become such a well-known user of a Devon bus service that its drivers know where to let him off. Casper has been queuing with other passengers to get the number three service from his home in Plymouth for months, bus company First said. It added that he often sat in the queue and then quietly padded on board and curled up on a seat for the ride. Casper's owner Susan Finden, 55, who picked him from a rescue home in 2002, said he had always been a free spirit. Mrs Finden said she named her pet after Casper the Friendly Ghost, as he has a habit of wandering off. A spokesman for First said that drivers had been bussing Casper around for months, but Mrs Finden said she had only just found out about his use of public transport. The care worker said: "He'd always go off and have a wander. "Once I had to walk a mile-and-a-half with a cat basket to bring him back from a car park. " I don't know what the attraction is but he loves big vehicles like lorries and buses Owner Susan Finden

RIP Ragout "In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to save the gerbil," Eric Tomaszewski told the bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski and his homosexual partner, Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong. "I pushed a cardboard toilet paper tube up his rectum and slipped Ragout, our gerbil, in," he explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out 'Armageddon,' my cue that he'd had reached nirvana, so to speak. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he simply would not come out, so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him." At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman desribed what happened next. "The match ignited a pocket of intestinal methane gas in Kiki's colon. Flames shot out the tube, ignited Mr. Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers, causing it to scurry further up Kiki's colon, which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out of the cardboard tube like a cannonball." Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract. Sadly, Ragout the gerbil did not survive the incident.
