Rat Kings

Posted by polamex at 08:05 PM in weirdness . | 3 Comments

From wikipedia:

A rat king is said to arise when a number of rats become intertwined at the tails, and additionally stuck to each other with blood, dirt, and excrements. Consequently, the animals grow together, joined at the tails, which are often broken. The phenomenon is particularly associated with Germany, where the majority of instances have been reported.

I just needed to balance out cute overload. Hugh, you have to start asking around about these and report what people say. That'd be sweet.

I'm so tired of rat kings. It's always rat king this, rat king that. Elections won by political rat-king positions. Rat-king warnings on TV, and over course the rat-king tax, which by the way is expected to rise this year.

But I think the most annoying thing is after a day of circumventing rat-king discussions and arguments, I come home and have to start dealing with my own personal rat-kings.

Scheisse!

Ha ha Hugh, I'll bet you're just dying to get out some of that bottled up sarcasm! (because the German people you're around don't think sarcasm is funny, if I remember correctly)
