Out hamster used to be kept in my brothers attic bedroom.One day we'd let it out of it's cage, and couldn't find it again.
A few weeks passed, and the drain outside the kitchen got blocked. My dad investigated and found the hamster.
It had climbed a small bookcase, gotten out of the slightly attic window, and scampered down the roof and along the guttering, only to fall 12ft or so into the kitchen drain.
The hamster was hideously bloated to 15* times it's original size, and was stuck to a rotten old apple.
*Exaggeration.

reminds me of a timewhen my brother and i got hamsters as our first pets. I named mine Hammy (never said i was original) and he named his pac-man, but then changed it to superman. We loved the little critters...for about a week and then we forgot about them altogether. My brother remembers that we do indeed have pets! and goes to check up on them, only to find my hamsters head rummaging around in his hamsters ribcage (foraging for food i guess). the little bastard at my brothers hamster, i was grounded, and my mother was so disgusted she flushed my hamster down the toilet.alive.
