This Isn’t Good
South African police have uncovered the latest menace from the rodent legion of the Animal Uprising™. They managed to stop it for now, but there is no telling how far it has spread, either. But at least they took away the giant rat's cars.
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African police said Thursday they had impounded 11 old cars after receiving complaints that giant rats nesting in the vehicles were attacking pedestrians.
"We've had to deal with vicious dogs before but not with rats," Wayne Minnaar, chief superintendent of the Johannesburg police, told SAPA news agency after police discovered 25 large rats living in the cars in Soweto, a township south of the city.
So now giant rats have their own cars. They won't have to hitchhike to get around anymore. This is really not good at all. Check your automobile insurance policy right away and see if you have an uninsured rat rider on your coverage. If not, be sure to phone your insurance agent and ask for one right away. We did. We're still waiting for the agent to stop laughing to see what it will cost. We're not sure what was so funny, but something really funny must have happened on his end of the line judging by the hysterics he's still having.

South Africa: check.
Proximity to Antarctica: check.
Penguin proximity probability: check.
Gaius, the rats are middle-critters.
