You Too Can be a Hamster (But WHY?)

French hotel offers guests a night as a hamster

It’s a unique concept according to its creators,…

Well, that’s ONE way to put it.

…a hotel in the French town of Nantes is offering the chance for people to become a hamster.

…but WHY would you want to?  This seems on the verge of psychosis…but at least it’s not harmful to anyone else.

For 99 euros ($148.10) a night, you can eat hamster grain, run in a giant wheel and sleep in hay stacks in what is called the “Hamster Villa.”

The Chief can supply some grain for a heck of a lot less than $148.10.
So who would do this?

Maud and Sebastien are the first ones to experience how hamsters live, not afraid at the thought of sleeping in hay or feeding on a hamster fountain and special grain.

It’s a unique experience and, the guests say, just something different. “To become a hamster, eat seeds, change our way of life…come out of our daily routine” Maud and Sebastien told Reuters TV…

If it’s their money, and that’s REALLY how they want to spend it, it’s THEIR problem, but IMHO these people SERIOUSLY need to find themselves a real life somehow.

It seems like there’s another descriptive word that might fit better than “hamster”.

Hmmmm. Let’s see…(think, think)…oh, yeah: MOONBATS!
