I don't like rats .

Quite interesting. Some rats are better than people. :?

 

[snakelegs]

very interesting - thanks for bringing it to our attention.
rats make very good pets - better than hamsters.
the wild ones aren't too much fun though - and they're a lot smarter than mice.

They also make very good lab assistants
