Oh please! That rat was small compared to the ones we have here in the mountains.;)

I, for one, welcome our new rat overlords.

I, для одного, приветствуют наши новые overlords крысы.

Well, know we know the ancestors of the New York Sewer Rats. :p

The 1-ton creature is believed to have been about 3 meters in length and 1.5 meters tall.

Can you imagine the size of the mousetrap?!?! :eek:

ROIS (rodents of incredible size) have been around up until medieval times when the Princess Bride and her pirate wiped out their last male during their escape. :p *nods*

ROUS (rodents of unusual size) have been around up until medieval times when the Princess Bride and her pirate wiped out their last male during their escape. :p *nods*

Fixed. ;)

Actually, it's R.O.U.S - Rodents of Unusual Size. Perhaps there is a typo in your edition. :)

Am I the only one who wants to tame one of these bad boys and use it as a means of transportation?

Imagine the size of cats chasing them!

Tried it, the flees almost ate me alive and I couldn't afford flee baths:p

I wonder what it tastes like.

actually... I was thinking of training them on various dance routines.

Capybara is actually meant to be pretty good, despite the fact that it's a massive rat.

No. *reads page of "How to Tame ROUS" then hides the book*

And you can eat it on fridays during Lent because the Catholic Church ruled it a fish. :)

COnsidering it's a fossil, it's not that new. :p

And what's with the russian? That is russian, isn't it? Either that, or you're practicing basket weaving on my thread. :p

Nah. At least one offers martial arts lessons.

I'm tired of this 'everything was bigger in the old days' - get over it old days people, times change.

Saying, "I, for one, welcome our ancient rat overlords" doesn't have the same ring to it.

And yes, it is Russian, according to Babelfish. I just thought that we on NSG shouldn't expect replies only in english. After all, this IS an international forum. :D

Imagine the size of cats chasing them!

The size of the teeth count more than the size of the cat. :p

If I didn't know cats as well as I do, I'd bet on the rats. :p

These three ideas receive the Official Vojvodina-Nihon Doodlebug of Approval. *nods*

Although I myself wouldn't mind cultivating a horde of 'em, and laying siege to Redwall Abbey.

of course they were... can you imagine one of those poor kitties trying to get a decent bite of meat? those Fangs may be great for bringing down prey, but they're lousy in allowing getting a good mouthful of meat.

It lives on land, it's furry, and it's basically a big rat, but it's a fish? Crazy catholics.

Well, if you're gonna have a Super-Rat, why not have a Super-Carrot for it to nibble on?

I remember some footage someplace of a poodle mounting a goose ... repeatedly ... but finding a cat as a target is not as easy at the moment. :p
