I never thought a rat could be so beautiful.

dean_r_koontz 12-18-2007 08:40 PM

top picture in case you weren't joking

dean_r_koontz 12-18-2007 08:41 PM

it looks more like a badger than a rat. it was apparently so unfamiliar with humans that it walked right up to their camp

Pretzel Logic 12-18-2007 08:42 PM

I'm sorry dean, but no one cares babe.

Irridescent Fairysex 12-18-2007 08:44 PM

speak for yourself, pretzel logic. It's an amazing discovery, I think this rat might be able to fly.

dean_r_koontz 12-18-2007 08:45 PM

i don't put much faith in people who don't think gigantic 1.4 kg rats found in mystic mountain areas are fascinating or at least somewhat interesting.

Jonny5 12-18-2007 09:36 PM

i wonder if anyone here is a fan of the movie the princess bride. they'd appreciate this thread.


dean_r_koontz 12-18-2007 09:36 PM

i guess someone likes the rat more than me pretzel logic. your cynisism has really made you look bad in this thread.

Warsaw 12-18-2007 10:49 PM

Beautiful

I feel like a fool.

The giant pig some boy shot a while back was more fascinating. It was so big.

dean_r_koontz 12-19-2007 12:11 AM

when i saw that your name was the last poster i thought it would be something along the line of "those scientists have a very simplistic and shallow understanding of the word rat".

Ever 12-19-2007 12:12 AM

Oh. That's not what I ended up saying at all.

dean_r_koontz 12-19-2007 12:13 AM

no but you still challenged my authority as the guy who knows about the most fascinating findings in this particular area. this is my thing now and you can't have a piece of the cake

Ever 12-19-2007 12:17 AM

I suppose so. I looked in the school issued biology textbook the other day cause I don't do biology but a friend of mine does and they had a graph of speed vs oxygen intake for various animals. It was a line graph. A horse requires more oxygen for lower speeds and then when it hits a high speed anaerobic systems seem to kick in cause the curve starts decreasing.

dean_r_koontz 12-19-2007 12:19 AM

that's pretty cool, but why

dean_r_koontz 12-19-2007 12:22 AM

and does it mean that it requires less oxygen when it's going high speeds or just that it's too exhausted at that point to really get as much oxygen in an therefore switches on the same anaerobic systems humans have, like utilizing eh lactate

It didn't say. I brought it up at the time myself actually and aidan, the owner of the book, didn't know neither.

must be a puppet

The Jesus 12-19-2007 01:23 PM

I think the rat is his left hand.

Rockin' Cherub 12-19-2007 01:28 PM

i think this was even on the wikipedia front page in summer

Jonny5 12-19-2007 02:39 PM

i wonder if there's a new kind of cat to go along with that new kind of rat

lactic acid! pyruvate! atp! krebs cycle! it is all coming back

Damn, that rat could eat my pet rats for breakfast.
