I had no idea hamsers were so dangerous. :eek:
(OK, so it was only an allergic reaction to a bite, and I guess it can happen with any animal bite. Still…)
There’s a joke in there somewhere about abusing the search engine, but I’m not quite confident enough to reach out and grab it.
Well, gerbils have been known to kill Sims.
The SDMB hamsters have been slowly killing Jerry for years.
I thought for a moment this thread was going to be about Richard Gere.
Go on, explain.
Gerbil, gerbil, gerbil.
And please don’t explain.
Wonder if it had “big sharp pointy teeth!”
My first reaction when I read the story was “was it the hamster bite that killed him, or the incompetent health care?”
Anyone know which hospital he went to?
How to say this… Richard Gere is widely reported to have enjoyed rectally inserting small rodents.
So…what you’re saying is that the Hamster Dance is a Savage Tribal Victory Celebration, just before their Dreadful Cannibal Feast, eh?
I always knew that little bastards had it in em, < Insert Monty Python Joke >with their hypodermic needles & their Atomic Bombs!< /Insert Monty Python Joke >
Was this hamster named Lemmiwinks?
The emergency room at Saitama Red Cross Hospital, according to this Japanese link. I used to go to the local Red Cross hospital when I was in Tokyo and it was a competent and well-respected hospital.
Finally, Ebichu strikes back.
Ah Ha! Monty Python got it wrong. It’s not, “The Killer Rabbit”, it’s, “The Killer Hamster”.
RUN AWAY!!
RUN AWAY!!!
Panting
That Hamster is dynamite.
Anyone have a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?
Hamtaro has started to kill kill kill!
As we knew he would.
World Domination shall soon be…ours!
Exxxcellleeennnt! 
That would explain the walk.
That’s probably one of the more disgusting episodes of South Park, but the “Lemmiwinks” song was rather endearing, no?
