Great, just more for the old folks to add to their stories. 'Back in my day we had climb a hill both ways to get to school, waist deep in the snow and the Rats were bigger then VW Beetle, you could ride it school if you could catch one...' ;)

Speaking of burning do you have such a sensation when you pee these days? :p

Of course not. My job is researching neisseria gonorrhoeae, remember? If I were experiencing a burning sensation, I'd certainly know how to cure it. :p

Gaaahh! :Q

They have one of those at the St. Louis Zoo. I swear to god it looks like a hamster starring in a "B" 1950's drive in movie. Its very disturbing.
A zoo in nova scotia has a very peculiar rodent too - looks like around 30 lbs I think. To me it looks like a rabbit you'd see in a horror movie. It's got some weird teeth and just plain looks very "bad", as if it was genetically mutated to look that way.

Looks a lot like a capybera (sp?).

eats plants.

Ever seen the ancestor of the beaver? it is like 6 feet long and 300 pounds.

I was watching that movie last weekend, and this was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread.
