Everything in that part of the world has always just wanted to kill men and eat them.

That’s nothing. You can find those in NYC.

I remember a movie about giant rats attacking people on an island. The last of them escaped by going to sea with barrels over their heads. Anyone remeber the name of it?

"A lot of the remains are burnt as well so they're obviously cooking them up in the fires and eating them." Proving conclusively that there have been people all
throughout history that have overcooked the damned meat.
Just sayin'.

They’re still living in California - a lot of them in the state government.

We still have rats the size of dogs — or, at least, we have some dog breeds the size of rats. A “dog” isn’t a unit of measurement — nor is a centidog, or a kilodog, etc.
Why not just use standard weights and measures? We can’t all be as dumb as the MSM seems to believe we are.

Ha. My first thought too! R.O.U.S.

I don’t think Michael Jackson was thinking of these giant rodents when he sang that Ode to a Rat named “Ben”.

Why not just use standard weights and measures? We canât all be as dumb as the MSM seems to believe we are."the species would have looked similar to modern rats but ranged in size from about 1.5 kilograms to five kilograms."

In Washington DC the rats walk on two legs and get government job.

From Australia, where there’s more critters that will kill you dead per square mile than anywhere else on the planet.

“...the size of dogs in East Timor.”
Of course, they have really small dogs in East Timor.
