Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for fun?

[mcctatas]

sure they crawl around and scurry, yeah they're always on the run
but a rat sure likes a good time, just like you and me,
I'll prove it with a tale about a rat infested brewery.


It started with a little lad named Vermin McCann
who fell upon a drink that made him feel like quite a man
he rounded up his furry boys, though some wore a frown
they quickly changed their tune and slammed a couple down

Chorus:


One, Two, One-Two-Three-Four!
Come all you good rats we'll send you to Heaven
You'll find the pearly gates between the froth and the foam
'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
the potion that turned the Guinness to gold

Like mice behind a piper, rats from all around
soon headed to this factory in old Dublin town
They surely heard the news about this new rat brew
they came, they saw, they had a taste
and knocked back quite a few

Chorus

The rats were in a tizzy addicted to the bone
the hairy lugs were giddy they were never going home
Like a bunch of drunken pirates, prepared to walk the plank
They drank, they sang, they took a plunge, and in the beer they sank

Chorus

"Good Rats"

1. did you know

...that rats actually laugh when you tickle them?


nice rats, anyway

[mcctatas]

2. How could you tell if a rat was laughing?

And is tickling rats some new fetish I haven't heard of yet?:smoke:

[snickersnee]

3. you won't believe this...

they actually had "scientists" tickle rats, recorded them, and then slowed the tapespeed down. voila! they laugh just like little peoples. i swear it's true.

i would answer your second question, but i would inevitably succumb to a pun about "tickling a rat", and then i'd be in trouble.


still, it's pretty funny.

4. Damn..

I'm gonna have to head over to the bio lab and tickle me some rats!

5. Much appreciated

I'd love to invade a brewery. Who's with me?
