Beware of rats!

[tagetes]

On my way home today I saw a rat that was standing at the crossing. Which is not so uncommon, but this one waited at the curb and crossed the street after the light had turned green.

I know they´re supposed to be smart, but until today I haven´t realized how smart. *g*

If rats had opposable thumbs, humanity would have a problem. ;)

Give them some time, they will think up something!

How wonderful!

I remember BW telling me about the penguin conspiracy - how they´re prepared to conquer the world. Seems they have a competition!

[spacedmonkey]

My money is on the rats. Penguins would be too busy with pebbles. :)

I´d rather be conquered by the penguins, but you´re right.

Smaaaart rats! *meep* Not gonna tell the mom.

[tagetes]

Why? She´s afraid of rats?

[berlinghoff79]

She's not very fond of them, yep.

Not my favourite animal as well, but this one was cute.

If dogs can learn that, why not rats? After all, they have been surviving in this world without human help - unlike dogs - for aeons... *nods like she knows what`s she`s talking about* I love to nod like that, people usually buy it *beams*

[tagetes]

Hm, there could be guide rats. Haven´t considered that. *g*

Too short. Can you imagine how long the leash should be? The poor blind guy would be forever tangling in it. *thinks about it* How about sniffers rats? You know, like the dogs that find dope. I bet that a small rat could find practically anything... And then eat it, so we would be with a drug to its eyeballs rat trying to chase imaginary pink cheese... So, maybe not...
