A Story For Which the World Is Not Yet Prepared - The Giant Rat of Stockholm

Well I'm not prepared. Good grief, just look at the size of the bloody thing.......... :eek::jaw-dropp:covereyes:boxedin::boggled:



Giant rat: Swedes agog at 'Ratzilla' in Stockholm



(Those of a sensitive disposition or musophobes may not want to click the link, there's a photo And it's big.)

Quote:

Measuring 40cm (nearly 16in) plus tail, the creature terrified the family in Solna district. Pest controllers finally killed the intruder using an oversized trap. Even the family cat had refused to enter the kitchen while the giant rat was in residence, father Erik Korsas told BBC News. It appears that it reached the kitchen via a ventilation pipe, having gnawed its way through cement and wood. After devouring food leftovers under the sink, the creature feasted on a "Swedish smorgasbord" of waste in the bin, according to Mr Korsas.

Is it time to isolate Sweden? Preemptively nuke Stockholm? Start domesticating tigers? How would we cope with a plague of sheep sized rodents?

Is that Syrian nerve gas available?
