1995 September 18, Scott Alexander Ganas, “Re: Beginner Snake Feeding Qs”, in rec.pets.herp (Usenet):Jay, I heard that the best way to serve a "mousesicle" was by grabbing it's tail with tweezers and putting it into the cage and allowing the snake to strike at it.
1999 August 19, Paul Martin, “Re: Creepy Stories to Chill Your Bones (Was: Newbie Says Hi, Pukes)”, in misc.writing (Usenet):An acquaintance of mine worked in a medical lab. Apparently at this lab they kept liquid nitrogen around for some reason, which was not advisable with this clown running around in there. One day he caught a live mouse, and being the Beavis-like cretin he was dumped it into a container of liquid nitrogen. He removed it after a minute, looking over his mousesicle, then threw it as hard as he could at the wall. The mouse shattered like crystal, of course.
