I bet you thought I meant the rats on Wall Street and in the JP Morgan building. Nope. I mean the real rats that live in the NYC subway system. Bloomberg has no problem with rats living under NYC, but has a huge problem with 32 ounce sodas and young people protesting. He is the chief rat and we will now see how incompetent he really is as NYC flounders for weeks because they were unprepared for a storm. But they sure can do a great job luring 18 year old Muslims into fake terrorist plots. Maybe he should have spent the taxpayers’ money on storm preparation rather than his nanny state initiatives and fake terrorist PR campaign. What a fucked up city and fucked up mayor.

Now The Rats Are Sinking The Leaking Ship

While the massive population of New York City is awfully impacted by Sandy, there is a more populous and even more caustic population that is struggling with the aftermath: Rats! As Forbes notes, the NYC Subway is notorious for its rat population and with all five subway tubes now submerged, one can only imagine where these cute cuddly rabies-wielding devil rodents will make their new homes. “Rats are incredibly good swimmers and they can climb” is hardly the reassuring news lower Manhattan homeowners were looking for, and as the Daily Mail notes, this could bring infectious diseases such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, typhus, salmonella, and even the plague into human contact. On the bright side (well not really), rats don’t need to bite a human to transmit its gross payload; rodent feces and urine can spread conditions like hantavirus just as easily – get long hand sanitizer stocks!
- Rats can climb brick walls, trees, and telephone poles, and walk across telephone lines.
- Rats can fall from a height of 50 feet without getting hurt.
- Rats can jump three feet in the air from a flat surface and leap more than four feet horizontally.
- Rats can scamper through openings as small as a quarter. General rule: If a rat’s head fits into the hole then the body will follow.
