Generators and mice

"Unfortunately, the mice decided that the generator cooling fan was a good place to make a nest.  It probably was until the generator started, then the mice had a quick lesson in centripetal force."

And how come some rabbits haven't even figured out what they are? A rabbit is not a rodent, it's a lagomorph ... only distantly related to the rodents (but then so are the monkeys).
