Go to the hard news portion of Reuters to get all the death, destruction, starvation, etc coverage you could possibly want. Some of us need a break from the harsh realities of the world.

Funny, isn’t it?

My last pet rats could free range in the bedroom and bathroom for a few hours a day.When I'd call them,they would run to me. I'd tell them to get in the cage so I could serve them supper and they would. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myuceywaOUs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g44q6QLON7o http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ratlist/ Rats are very smart and aim to please,so it would be very easy to train them to follow a person…Especially if said person fed them,cuddled them and played with them.
