Yeah but they're more likely to have their Achilles tendons so there's that.
A friend of mine had one, I volunteered to ferret sit when they went on vacation. The ferret was adorable but also hyperactive enough that I never want one for a pet.
Kinda want to know what would happen if they turned on the P. A., though I wish no harm to the ferret. Would that tickle? Would it burn through like a laser? Or would it just give you megacancer?
Is there a superperson that got their powers from a P.A.?

They were used in aircraft manufacture for years to help run cables through

Ah! So that explains why there are camera and cable tools called ferrets

This is my new favorite thing about particle accelerators

They do love tubes, and they can turn around inside them.

When I had my girls, I invested so much money in pipes. It was like futurama in their room. They loved it.

I love ferrets so much. They love playing and are ultra cute. I just wish I could stand the smell.

I think I just learned I might have a degree of claustrophobia or something because reading the second part made me suddenly very anxious

Anyone that's not had the joy of playing with a ferret have missed out.

If I recall correctly, (ignoring that I could look it up right now) I believe ferrets were specifically bred to run cables underground.
Edit: I'm apparently full of shit. That being said, I really appreciate that the wikipedia page has a dropdown section titled Other Uses.

How has no one made a lemmywinks reference yet?

Because lemmywinks was a gerbil. Ferrets aren't even rodents.

Look at the only human ever to be hit by a particle accelerator beam

Thank you for the link.
Please do not turn on beam with ferret in. Please and thank you.

They're professional chimney squeaks, now?

So, what, they stuck a broom handle up it's butt and used him like a cotton swab? That's pretty fucked up.
