this idea sucks

So you posted the idea, you trashed the idea, then you voted against the idea. Hmm.

By the way, because of the experimental nature of the proposed subject, wouldn't it be a guinea pig?

you are right, on second thought its a great idea.

Nahhh, Chihuahua are too tempting to throw out the window when you're driving.

Hey, what about seeing eye people? Very little training required, solve the unemployment problem overnight!

although the squash factor is high, hampsters are quick and cuddly mammals. just make sure they don't get stepped on.

Bear: Don't be so hard on Chihuahuas. I like the little dog-rats, especially with barbecue sauce and a side of home fries.

PeterSealy: That's why some crossings at intersections have the little whistles and beepers. It's so blind drivers know where to turn right.

Not the greatest idea here, anyway. Hamsters are too easy to microwave, but they make great frisbees when squashed.

Wasn't Clive Sinclair at some point working on hamsters that plug into your brain via RS232 at some point?

Never mind Chihuahuahuas anyway - they're too demanding on power.

hamsters are nocturnal, so it's perfect for an evening out. once you get to the club, slip ol' teddy pepper into your purse, and you're dancin.'
for daytime, you'd need a chipmunk or something.
