Actually, Janet291, the truth of this story was, at least from what I read, the burglar was actually a rat that was born with a human head. The rat had found a loose floorboard and was trying to wiggle its way up when the wife came in, saw that ugly mug, and stomped on the floorboard, thus breaking the rat's neck and wedging his ass in this retarded position.
Yea I think it was an africanized rat.
