No, the boards are not broken, people just don't understand how to format quotes and text size properly. See here for the full conversation:

if not try this. put a few quarts of anti-freeze in a bucket, the sweet smell is supposed to lure them into jumping in and then they will drown. The beauty of the anti-freeze is that, again, it should dissolve everything of the mouse except the tail, and no smell.
This is per my Grandfather and his deer camp rodent controll.
there is also a remedy that involves filling the kitchen sink with water, then ballencing several butter knives on the edge of the sink with peanut butter or cheese on the ends of them. the mice will walk on the knife to get the peanut butter and then again drown in the sink...but Mrs. Phil Pothole probably doesn't want dead mice in her kitchen sink.
good luck
Got a couple of cats, but I could try to anti-freeze idea still-- the mice haven't actually made it inside my house, from what I can tell... thus far they've only gotten up under the siding, so I could just leave the bucket out back behind my breezeway, which is where I've seen the mice.
Howie Feltersnatch is in no way liable for any problems related to anti-freeze mice poisoning.
Howie Feltersnatch is not an exterminator.
Howie Feltersnatch is not responsible if a cat/dog/neighbor 'mouses' into the bucket of anti-freeze
Wow, you really messed that quote/text up.
EDIT:
And wow, it got all messed up when I tried to quote it, too.
That's what she said.
