Really? I saw it in the newspaper yesterday morning and then I posted about it that evening. Maybe this story has been doing the rounds for a while, but it took our favourite tabloid-that-thinks-its-a-broadsheet a while to catch up?

JJJ was playing the story when it broke, and I think I saw it online in the Australian breaking news section. The head (or someone) from some Rat Appreciation Society was less than happy.
