Well it's not what I was expecting from todays news...

Is this now our greatest threat? Is the western civilisation going to fall to these mutated/evolved demon beasts instead of terrorism as the suits in power will have you think? Is this actually proof of evolution? To be fair I don't really care that much but it is interesting that there are "60 million fat rats" in the UK. Same number as the human population... ironic? numbers work in strange ways oooooo (ghostly sound) :eek:

Super rats? All the article said was that rats are getting slightly fatter. Not particularly super without any statistics. On the other hand, the rats could all be robots, and every person in the UK has one robot rat assigned to them by Islamic Jewish liberal terrorist ninja pirates, so they can take over when the time is right.
... or something.

Yes- so bin your litter.

Wont these rats develop high cholesterol and hardened arteries? Will this reduce their longevity?

This might be a good thing.

True, rat obesity is reaching dangerous levels. We advise all rats to eat fatty foods in moderation and to ensure they perform at least thirty minutes of exercise every day.

I wanted to say it, but as I did a couple days ago, I figured I'd give someone else the chance.

Thanks. :)

Clearly the Brits need to hire some dude with a pipe and then cheat him out of his money and mock him.

Does that mean we're going to see a lot of these in the near future?

I'd've beaten her to it, if I hadn't been so busy throwing cake out of the window.

At the rats. The chocolate sticks to their fur in a funny way.
