Hmmm... maybe I should invest some money in rats? 37 percent seems a rather good profit. Anybody knows, where I can buy rat futures? (or is it rat options?)

Rats are not good for humans to eat. They are vermin. They were the carriers of Bubonic Plague in the Middle Ages, and still they carry plague and disease.

I dunno, I have a Chinese friend who always gets excited when 'mouse season' (her words) is coming up... can't quite understand that one but she assures me they're tasty 'when done right'. :?
