@SharkE

 

Then why did you open the thread????? ROFL

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Hey, can anyone say "tourism"?  Kind a makes me think twice. I'm sure these findings must be the exceptions to the rule. But, that's ok, I really don't want any clarification on this, LOL.

Re: How big can a NYC rat get?

Contrary to beliefs, rats don't run rampant through the streets of NYC as they aren't fond of people.   But, in the very early morning or very late at night, your chances are good of seeing them in a subway or rummaging through garbage before street cleaners come.  I was coming home from work late one night and thought I saw a "cat" in the subway.  I called it closer to me as I was concerned for its safety and the d**n thing came to me and as it came closer I saw it was a very large rat and it seemed a lot bigger than 1.5 ponds.  I was scared so maybe I visualized it as larger?   I ran up the stairs and luckily it didn't follow.  I do have disdain for the creatures but they really don't bother you.  All large cities have them, I suspect, especially port cities like NYC and NJ, where I live.  We have some whoppers on the very elegant "Gold Coast" situated on the Hudson River.

I knew one that was 6 feet tall and about 200 lbs.  His eyes could get kinda red sometimes.

The fleas on the rats carried the black plague yrs. ago. Took out thousands of people.
