Eddie's Big Adventure

Eddie's Big Adventure

This subway riding hamster was too funny to resist

by US Staff (Tue Dec 01, 2009)

We found this in the New York Post and here is an excerpt from the newspaper describing the photos.

'The story of Eddie's [the hamster] wild ride dates back to 1996, when the District Attorney's office was preparing for the trial of crazed subway bomber Edward Leary. Prosecutors needed a model of a subway train to show jurors just where Leary detonated his explosives.

Architectural engineer Marie Venticinque was enlisted to construct the tiny train car replica.

 The model did its job - Leary is a serving 94-year sentence for assault and attempted murder - and ever since has sat on a shelf in the DA's engineering unit.'

Enter Victoria Balenger who is a photographer with DA's office. She saw the train and recognized that it was 'perfectly hamster-sized' and brought the very tame hamster into work yesterday for the photo shoot.

PowderRoomGraffiti says well done Victoria.
