Washington, Computer Sci Lines: 21 Thank God!... Finally someone has pointed the source of the health fads and paranoid diets running rampage through most of America.... the wimpy Canadian Rat. Why don't we ever hear about Bronx Rats (the ones who attack policemen, muggers, and Ernest Borgnine in Willard)? Has America decided to ignore it's hardy but non-trendy residents? I'm afraid it's just another example of the left wing in the US putting an honest blue-collar animal in the wrong light. I hate to bring this up, but has anyone considered that the Canadian rat may be in league with the .... Wombat Satanist Menace? Nah, too wimpy, no self-respecting wombat would involve a C. rat in that scheme.... anybody who'd buy the farm after 400 cans of Diet Dr. Pepper would never be entrusted with that information.... he might rat, er, squeel.
