Just thought all of you who have not given up hope. Dave Saylor's hamster (who was lost around this time last year) has been found! He never made it out of the Biology Room. Phil

Is he a former shadow of himself?

I don't think he would cast a shadow. Yes he is dead

Can you get a photo of his remains for me?

I will try to pry him loose. He is stuck between a rock (the drywall) and a hard place (a steal bar)

  2. My hamster and I had bonded. A full funeral with the rotc cadets in attendance should be appropriate. His name was nuetron, and he gave his all for stephan decator. Above and beyond the call of duty. Dave Sayler

  3. Oh, yikes! and Gross! That's why I don't want to fool with pets in the classroom. I hate the thought of someone having a snake in school. Snake in school------I'm flying out of there like greased lightning.
