“Ratfink”!

Pinky, did you hear that?

I’m afraid I don’t believe you

Rat: What if I told you I spread the bubonic plague?

And you are already infected.

Let’s study THAT!

That’s OK! I’m just using you to save buying a gym membership.

White mice rule….

Then why is it in a cage.

Rats!

Then what are you waiting for, open this door immediately and let my meeces go!

Little Albert became a psychologist….

I think it’s cute how the rat has glasses…

Frankie Mouse and Benji Mouse, protrusions into our dimension of vast hyperintelligent pandimensional beings, are actually studying you.

“And what if I told you that you had it backwards: We rats are the ones studying you?”

Rat: “You mean that I signed up for this study for NO REASON!?”

Aw, rats!

Now that’s gonna be gnawin’ at him.

If they’re that big – I’d have a fear of them, too!

I’ve known people who took their rats home with them (provided the experiment didn’t harm them). One friend had a “rescue” rat that was a very good pet. I never used them myself, but when I would see them in some other labs, I noticed they would come up to me and show curiosity. I think most of the techs handling them were pretty gentle.
