No no no, Crouton, old man — you might as well ask who’s behind the Giant Rat of Sumatra.

Have they never been to Philadelphia? Don’t look down at the tracks when waiting up on the train platform.

Thank you. My wife and I read all the Holmes stories in the mid ‘80’s.

Water had gotten into our TV while we were away on vacation. It blew up when we returned and turned it on. We decided we to try living without a TV for a while, went four years.

“Have they never been to Philadelphia? Don’t look down at the tracks when waiting up on the train platform.”

NYC subway rats late at night. As soon as the train leaves they come. They can tell when the train is coming before you will. When they start disappearing that’s when the train is coming.

I have seen common Norway rats here in Florida as big as house cats. I used to collect aluminum cans when I was a young man supporting my family. Ran across big rats all the time at hotel and restaurant dumpsters.

These dumpster rats I believe are very intelligent. They would not flee when I arrived, they would just sit up and look at me like saying “This is our dumpster, go find your own!”.............

If these GIANT rats are bigger than those then I don’t want to be anywhere near one!..........................

I wonder if many rats were injected with the COVID vaccine before the release. One of the side effects that was likely not mentioned was the rat would double its size and appetite. Soon it would become a meat eater. That would solve the EU problem that we humans eat too much meat. //sarcasm off//
