I don’t know quite what I can say that adds to that headline. Apparently there are some giant killer mice on a British run island in the South Atlantic and they eat baby birds alive. This, by my reckoning, makes then the second coolest mice of all time after the grasshopper mouse, which kills other mice and then does a death shriek. And then, I guess, number three is probably one of them rats from The Secret of N.I.M.H. Even if it was one of those rat mice.
