Now The Rats Are Sinking The Leaking Ship

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/30/2012 11:00 -0400

While the massive population of New York City is awfully impacted by Sandy, there is a more populous and even more caustic population that is struggling with the aftermath: Rats! As Forbes notes, the NYC Subway is notorious for its rat population and with all five subway tubes now submerged, one can only imagine where these cute cuddly rabies-wielding devil rodents will make their new homes. "Rats are incredibly good swimmers and they can climb" is hardly the reassuring news lower Manhattan homeowners were looking for, and as the Daily Mail notes, this could bring infectious diseases such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, typhus, salmonella, and even the plague into human contact. On the bright side (well not really), rats don't need to bite a human to transmit its gross payload; rodent feces and urine can spread conditions like hantavirus just as easily - get long hand sanitizer stocks!

If they can do this - then what happens when they are forced above ground?

Cue gratuitous "biggest rat in the world" scary video clip (real or not - this is crazy)

Rats can climb brick walls, trees, and telephone poles, and walk across telephone lines.
Rats can fall from a height of 50 feet without getting hurt.
Rats can jump three feet in the air from a flat surface and leap more than four feet horizontally.
Rats can scamper through openings as small as a quarter. General rule: If a rat’s head fits into the hole then the body will follow.

Everything you did not want to know about rats and really did not want to ask:

I hope that many affected ZH readers were well prepared for this hurricane. You were warned...

ITEM 2

Commit to prepare for zombies, so that currency collapse, EMP, hurricanes, revolution, world war, or anything else will seem relatively mild. Understand that the time to make a plan and prepare is before, not after a zombie invasion. Understand that there is no way you can plan or prepare for every contingency, but doing something today goes a long way to peace of mind, and eliminating any regrets should the shit actually hit the fan.

Real or not, I got to know why in the fuck that giant rat is getting the chinese suction cup treatment? For those who don't know, the purpose of that treatment is to find out where your qi is imbalanced and get it unblocked and flowing again.

Who in the fuck would want to touch that thing to find that out?

Rats and their feces already constitute a portion of the 'filler' in all processed meat and many other food products. USDA even publishes tables with 'acceptable' amounts of rodent parts, feces and hair in a whole range of products. So dig in and enjoy.

Infection. My WTF line was how rats destroy 20% of all agricultural products yearly. I very much doubt that is correct.

Tue, 10/30/2012 - 12:33 | 2931715 dhengineer

Very true. They get into the storage bins and eat their fill. That's why the ancient Egyptians began deifying cats and worshiping them. The kitties could be "domesticated" and they caught the rats that were destroying the harvest.

Tue, 10/30/2012 - 12:55 | 2931795 knukles

Of course the rats destroy every thing in sight, are the most destructive species ever known to man, spread misery, disease and Democratic politics especially when memorialized by a US Department of Fictional Horseshit for a Bigger Budget Requirement is on the line.

If Krugman had an ounce of sense he'd be preaching about a Rat Invasion instead of Aliens... aka 1% Plutocracy as opposed to Foreigners...

At least the rat population will stabilize before destroying the planet, we have yet to demonstrate that ability....

Tue, 10/30/2012 - 21:02 | 2933263 MrSteve

In India, much of the harvest is stored in the open, in heaps on the ground. The rats contaminate much of the food, more than they "eat". They produce waste where they eat so the contamination is greater than what they physically touch.

Rodent waste "allowed" is why I no longer use any ground pepper. You want to grind the whole peppercorns yourself.

So, I had to go to the kitchen late at night, flipped on the light and saw a big palmetto bug on the counter. I smashed it really hard with my flip flop, picked it up with a tissue and flushed it. I got my glass of water and went back to bead. The next morning, I looked in the sink and there was its head, still alive. I could tell because the antennas were still very active. (I don't doubt your story.)

I run and live on my own little farm (actually not so little...), have many animals around here. Cows, chickens, horses, pigs, large gardens, and hundreds of acres of trees (makes decent change for me.)

Rats are a very serious problem. I use a lot of animal proof rat traps like you'll see around commercial buildings (black boxes with holes on them up against the outside walls.)

The other thing that keeps the rat population under control is very simple.

Cats. Lots of cats.

Rats get a bad rap. They're friendly, sociable, and very successful.

Sure, some folks complain that they carry disease and eat food and destroy property. In those regards, they're just like other New Yorkers.

We should all observe a moment of silence for the millions of 4-legged brethren displaced by the recent storm.

I'm scared the rats might catch a disease from increased contact with the New Yorkers.

My favorite sanitizer Purell is made by Pfizer, so that's a stock pick right :)

My wife and I left New York City many years ago but, being natives, our first thought upon seeing the pictures of the flooded tunnels was:

"Where the hell did all the rats go?"

Hey Navy - I've visited the city and my first thought was about the rats in the tunnels as the water was pouring into the storm sewers, the first floors of the apartments buildings (and their basements), the tunnels and into the subway system.

Yeah - where did the rats go? Guess we'll start hearing about rat bites in the next few days as they come out and want food. Yuck. NYC is gastly IMO.

I bet most of these rats can be found on the Goldman Sachs trading floor.

Upside = Infinite rat kebabs for ration distribution per food-stamp receiver.

Lemons, lemonade and all that.

Today is 11 years, 1 month and 19 days after 9/11

I am not into any numerological theories but ...

indeed... and in times of emotional [crise?] stress they reproduce exponentially ie., normal reproduction being eight [8] litters per year and having twenty [20] babies per litter [the amount of females born under stressful circumstances is higher than in normal time, so look for the numbers to at least double? --just like humans wanting to preserve their legacies?

think of 911?
