    I can’t help but think this is exactly what we need, one for each of the regulars on DU!

    Maybe we’d finally get somewhere for a change?

    I’m obviously insanely optimistic.

    What’s the conversion factor between horsepower and hamsterpower?

    Torturing small animals in a positive light.

    Just one step closer to total world domination.
    I, for one, welcome our new hamster overlords.

    I’ve eaten hamster, and thats no hamster.
    Gerbil. Or maybe some kangeroo rat–about 20 different species all look very much the same. Cousins of Chinchilla’s which I kept for a while. Dumbest member of the rodent clan. Would run right into the fireplace while it was lit. I thought that was a primordial “fear” in most animals? Burned a hole in my wallet is what it did. Cute though.

    That is a dwarf hamster Bobbo.
    It’s known as a Djungarian hamster, Siberian hamster, Dwarf Russian Hamster, Campbell’s Russian Dwarf, Siberian Winter White and Roborovski hamster although there are actually only 3 subspecies I think.

    I just call them prey.

    I’ve seen them and owned one. I call them short lifers.

    That little project is a lot closer to being real science than 99% of what goes on in elementary science classes.

    Is that Lego, K’Nex or what? Impressive mechanism for a home toy.

    You need 1,160,429 five-ounce hamsters to power a 60-watt light bulb. Just FYI.
