  • Be aware of armed mice

    When I woke up this morning in the beautiful old castle “Hotel Steigeneck” in the south of the snow-covered Black Forrest, I couldn’t believe my eyes. As I believe you wouldn’t either, I took a photo for proof.

    Armed mouse
    My beloved grand-ma told me stories of armed mice years ago, but I could never believe her. “Armed mice?” was my reaction. I was wrong. Totally wrong. Mice armed themselves and stroke back against lethal mousetraps. Is the human race condemned? And do mice have nuclear weapons as well?

    Update December, 13th 2006:

    Beta 2 is out. I fixed an issue with the comments button, an php include and a wrong “default” value in header.php. Thanks to Mike Abundo.

    I send some people a buggy 0.92 Beta 2, please download the header.txt and comments.txt and rename them to header.php and comments.php.

    Update December, 19th 2006:

    Beta 3 is out. I added the Color Scheme “Icy Park” (last mini-screenshot) and 6 new favicons in the relevant colors. Beta 3 color scheme “Icy Park” is the 1st intent to use Cordobo Green Park as a framework for 3 column fluid WordPress themes.
