Siberian Hamsters! I forgot about that one. Later in that episode Basil himself refers to the rat as a Siberian Hamster to one of his guests.

Here in my neck of the woods in Washington they call squirrels “tree rats”.

Great... Now I’ve got the “Bring out your dead” bit from Monty Python playing in my head but with squeaky voices.

I've lost track -- with the Gulf Oil Spill, and all of the earthquakes -- and now this outbreak of plague...

Which of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are we on now: three or four?
