INNSBRUCK, Austria - It wasn’t “Snakes on a Plane,” but an Austrian Airlines jet made an unscheduled stop Friday after a passenger sneaked a hamster aboard and the rodent escaped.

The flight from Palma de Mallorca, Spain, to the southern Austrian city of Graz made a stop in Innsbruck so officials could search for the hamster and make sure it didn’t gnaw through any wiring, the airline said.

It said the flight was diverted after a passenger notified the crew that he had brought a hamster aboard and had lost track of it. Passengers were ordered off the plane, and some were taken by bus to Graz. It was not immediately clear how many people were aboard.

By midafternoon, a search of the aircraft still had not turned up any sign of the hamster, authorities said.

Austrian Airlines said the jet would remain grounded until the hamster was found “because it can’t take off that way for safety reasons.”

Not surprising...that little bastard could probably chew through a couple of important wires if he wanted to. I'm sure there'd be no greater experience as a pilot than to lose aileron or elevator control mid-flight because of a damn hamster.

I just can't fathom that 1. someone got this thing onto a flight, 2. it got out and 3. a hamster managed to ground an airliner indefinitely. I mean I fully understand the concern, but a 4 oz. hamster grounded a giant airlplane. I just found the whole David vs. Goliath angle funny.

I'm a little worried about how the hamster was smuggled aboard. Maybe you don't want to find it.

Perhaps our Department of Homeland Security will launch a full-scale study on how to prevent the threat of hamsters against our national security!

No room for a hamster, since that's the only way to get beverages aboard these days. :idea:

Woman Arrested For Hamster Neglect

POSTED: 7:40 am EDT October 2, 2006
UPDATED: 7:45 am EDT October 2, 2006


JANESVILLE, Wis. -- Police arrested a woman for neglecting hamsters at her home after her roommate called authorities, police said Sunday.

Sgt. Rick Larson said police arrested the 23-year-old on 39 counts each of two charges: failing to provide food and drink and failing to provide proper shelter to animals.

The Rock County Humane Society removed 33 live and six dead hamsters.

The woman was already is facing charges of failing to provide shelter and food to a Great Dane removed from her home in August.

"Authorities also suspect that another Hamster is missing and may have been smuggled aboard an airliner last week. Airport crew have been on the lookout for a brown smelly hamster for several days. 'At least the hamster was provided shelter,' one worker was overheard saying."

Keep in mind, we're talking about hamsters here.

[MJZiggy]

What kind of a person keeps 41 hamsters in a house? Then again, 2 months ago it might have just been a pair...

[BallHawk]

What kind of a person has 1 hamster in their house?

[MJZiggy]

The kind with an elementary school kid that doesn't want a dog or cat. These animals are toys.

It must have come via 1st class, I believe when one of the flight attendants noticed Richard Gere bending over for the Inflight Catalog.

Hamsters are becoming a major concern.

First it was Jesse James, Bonnie and Clyde, Floyd Bannister, Baby Face Nelson and Al Capone...now... something far more dangerous.

There will soon be a full scale Government Inquiry and Commission appointed:

To come up with valuable Information, on how best to advise Hamster Owners regarding Responsible Hamster Training and Control and the importance of keeping " these Little Devils " on a short lease.

THE HAMSTER CONTROL - BUREAU of INVESTIGATION ( HCBI )

Has just released it's:

Hey KY! What's up?

Jack's Smirking revenge hooked me up!!!


When the topic of hamsters is brought up, it's pretty much open season on Richard Gere.

When the original hamster story broke the newswire, I wonder how many hits Google received with typed subject matter looking like this:

Hamster Australia Richard Gere

Richard Gere 1 sick bastard

Australian hamsters and the bloke from Red Corner

Inflight Catalog frightened airline attendant Richard Gere's a**hole

[Chester Marcol]

Let's not rip on Richard Gere'bil to bad. Haven't any of you sat on something accidentally? Granted, it may not have been a live rodent and you probably weren't naked, but still, you all have done it.

[Partial]

Granted, it may not have been a live rodent and you probably weren't naked, but still, you all have done it.

Hilarious sentence!

From the movie "Mallrats":

One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck in his ass.

True story. He bought it at our local mall, so the whole fiasco
wound up on the news.

It was embarrassing for my relatives and all, but the next week,
he did it again.

Different cat, same results, complete with another trip to the
emergency room.

So, I run into him a week later in the mall and he's buying
another cat.

And I says to him, "Jesus, Walt !

You know you're gonna get this cat stuck in your ass too. Why
don't you knock it off ?"

And he said to me, "Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get
the gerbil out ?"

My cousin was a weird guy.

[mraynrand]

You get that Hamster out of your keyster right now, Mayo-nase, Or I'm gonna pull it out!!

"Don't you do it, sir! It's got no place to go, it's got no place to g...."

[MateoInMex]

LMFAO!!!



This thread needs to continue!!!


I never saw Mallrats, but I am intrigued and will rent it.


Chester, lol!! Nice!!

That could be a whole 'nother thread. Things WE'VE SAT ON!! Set it up and I will be one of the first to post!!!





MRay...ROFL!!! I am still laughing at an Officer and a Rodent!!!!

[MateoInMex]

Wood,

Big Bertha is scary!


Now I understand why Gere doesn't use a Hamster wheel or that plastic gerbil maze in his cages.


That would be pretty scary if Richie is indicted along with Balco for juicing up his rodent buddies.


Of course, Bertha would deny it all under oath and state that he was just using a cream the whole time but didn't know what it was for.

GERBILS ON STEROIDS LIKE WE'VE NEVER SEEN 'EM IMPRESSING AT THE COMBINES!

I guess Oscar ran a 4.2 from the taint to the.. . .

Ty. They just started playing Scrubs reruns and I saw one last week or so where the one wise ass main Dr who hates everyone was looking at an xray of a light bulb in someones ass with the Head guy and one of the interns and he says "Either that guy's rectum has a good idea or he has a light bulb jammed up his butt" Frigin hilarious.

BIG BERTHA scares the "H" out of me; it is every citizens duty to get her off the streets, where she is so destructive.

Let's take BIG BERTHA... down !

I know the story was a few weeks ago, but the last 20 seconds of this FAMILY GUY clip just might help my Richard Gere on the flight with the hamster theory.
