Topic: The Rats of NIMH

[Palustris]

Last evening we had 10 minutes of rain. Naturally the gutter leaked so I spent half the day up a ladder trying to fix it. Course I needed a hacksaw which is kept in the Shed. Now as I said once before the shed has a wormhole in it. Any tool at random, but always the one I want has gone through the wormhole into another time and dimension. In moving things around I found a rat-hole in the floor of the Cyber shed. Nothing unusual about that, except that the shed floor is 6 centimetres of concrete. I bet the dratted things have been borrowing my hammer and chisel to excavate that one. No wonder I cannot find anything, the rats have got my tools!

Why don't you just 'delete' the rats? -Ina

I hope I have, but they could just be lurking in the Deleted Items file, waiting their chance to return.

How about 'cut and paste' them into your virus scanner's quarantine file or use them as 'wall paper'. You could also consider burning them onto a cd and send it to a friend. The options are endless. -Ina

I truly believe my entire house is a wormhole - especially for scissors - my mother arrives on Monday for a whole week - best start cleaning about eerrrr... a week ago!

Maybe you should crawl into a worm hole and don't come out for a week hahaha. -Ina

The question is though, how do rats gnaw their way through 3 inches of concrete? I placed a heavy weight on the hole to stop the cats getting at the rat bait and today it has been moved well away from the hole. I am beginning to wonder if not only are these super-rats, but are on steroids for body-building, Next we will see them running round the garden carrying the 25kilo sacks of hen food, liberated from the hen run.

This is getting scary Eric. On the other hand, you could always put a sign in your garden "This property is patrolled by guard rats, enter at your own risk". -Ina
