Gigantic Rats
When I saw this article, I totally thought of my one joke item on my Amazon wishlist.
First off, monkeypox? Am I the only one that thinks that sounds funny? Not chickenpox, but monkey. Zany!
And secondly, three pound rats? Scary. And I've seen huge rats before. My dad's barn became infested with these humongous rats one time. So he got a few kittens to take care of the rats. The rats found one of the kittens to be a tasty treat (to my utter horror) and so my dad moved on to plan B. He rigged up a metal sheet with a battery and put peanut butter in the middle. Anything that made the mistake of stepping on this sheet was electrocuted like a criminal in Texas. Back when electrocutions were still in style. And thus ended the rat infestation.
Florida and U.S. officials are trying to raise enough money to capture and kill off the Gambian rats that have proliferated on Florida's Grassy Key Island, just a few miles from the coast of one of the country's most populous states... Darin Carroll, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is on a quest is to prove what many scientists suspect: that the 3-pound rodents caused a monkeypox outbreak in the Midwest in 2003 that sickened dozens of adults and children with a virus related to smallpox.
