If I’m trapped in a building collapse, and your best idea is to send a rat to find me, you’d better hope that I die in the debris.
To: BenLurkin
Just what I want when I’m trapped and immobile under tons of rubble...a backpack-carrying rat chewing off my ears and nose.

Those rats are more honorable than political ‘Rats.

I’d rather have the Saint Bernard with the little brandy cask.
To: JohnBrowdie
Agreed.
Side story - I got hammered in Eindhoven on Jagermeister. Rough morning...

Can they miniaturize the St. Bernard's rescue barrel? Maybe name the new rat breed "St. Miniscule"?

Winston Smith isn’t going to like this.

So if one of them hands you a cellphone, will you be surprised or just ungrateful?
You forget a human will be training it to save your life.

Before or after they nibble away at the survivors?

Ben, you’re always running here and there
You feel you’re not wanted anywhere
They don’t see you as I do
With a backpack with a sandwich or two
I’m sure they’d think again
With a delivery guy like Ben
Tip of the hat to Michael Jackson.

"I’d rather have the Saint Bernard with the little brandy cask."
Maybe they can train them to bring a pizza with them.

Yeah. Weird comments. The rat can obviously go places a dog cannot, especially in rubble. It seems like a good idea. I hope it works.
To: fishtank
I would be REALLY PO'd! My fingers aren't that small and there's no telling who he would call.

Not to worry.
The rats will be fitted with muzzles. ;)

A big husky sewer rat could probably fetch along at least one cold beer to go with the pizza, too.
To: BenLurkin
I lived in LA during the Northridge quake. The thought that at any minute the earth could start shaking and the building could collapse on you was always on my mind. Especially at night. I’m glad I moved back the the Midwest - at least we are informed when weather could become nasty.

Rats, why did it have to be rats.
I checked nobody mentioned it:)
