If cats make you happy you probably have a parasite in your brains!(srs)

Rodents are probably the #1 animal vector of disease and death in humans. They transmit far more nastiness than just the bubonic plague. In fact, only mosquitoes possibly beat them as a vector in terms of number of people killed. Though if you factor in other ways that rodents can hurt humans, such as eating and destroying vast quantities of food which leads to starvation and other diseases, rodents probably surpass mosquitoes to take the #1 killer of humans spot.

 

On the other hand, if it wasn't for rodents, humans would never have existed in the first place.

Science is only about theories ,"facts" are left to religion and philosophy...

Anyone ever read Asimov's short "Hostess?" This thread reminds me of that, a little.

Oh I'm still me, I'm sure. Although, judging by the mystery boxes of catnip, wheatgrass and chicken liver treats appearing on my doorstep recently, I'm starting to think leaving my laptop out in the living room at night might be unwise...
