Tiger Woods' Alleged Mistress Lost Fiance On 9/11
Rats are still keeping it real in the Bronx, where a two-year-old girl was taken to the hospital with five rodent bites after her mother heard her screaming in her crib. Jonnique McKinney tells the Daily News, "She was sleeping in her bed and she woke up screaming." Exterminators had plugged up the radiator with steel wool in her Clay Avenue apartment, but nothing can stop a hungry rat with an appetite for human babies. While hitting the Google machine for this story, we learned about a horrific incident that happened last month in Louisiana, where an infant girl was found dead in her crib after rats ate away at her face and limbs, then left bloody rodent footprints all over her sheets. Anyway! McKinney filed a lawsuit against her building owner last year, when her daughter was bitten, but it's only come to light now because the landlord sued the exterminator this week. Still, aren't you glad you finally know about all this? Sweet dreams!

"but nothing can stop a hungry rat with an appetite for human babies. "
quote of the week.
Good god.
Wait I didn't read farther down. O.M.G.
Wtf JDS. Way to ruin my afternoon.
Winston Smith is not amused.
I could have done without that horrid LA rat story.
good one.
though, the thought of a rat helmet makes me shiver too.
I don't like rats eating human babies stories. Adult Humans eating Human babies on the other hand are hilarious. Jonathan Swift's "a modest proposal" is great storybook fair. "A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout."
yes, a quick satirical read that offers an unusual solution to deal with Ireland's poor.

why DID YOU DO THAT!?
Easy solution for most people if their landlords would just allow it. Cat ownership is a good way to solve the rodent problem in a home.
True story.
There once was a firehouse with rats.
So the city sent in a cat.
But the rats chased out the cat.
Because the rats were as big as cats.
Every apartment I've ever been in an apt where somebody has cats, the place smells like a litter box. If it's more than one cat, the stink will give you whiplash when you walk in. Usually, the person living there swears there is no odor but that's because their nostrils are dead.
Sorry, but given your long history of exaggerating everything, you have no credibility even on this subject.
Tell it to your smelly cats.
Not true. I have two cats and an enclosed painted plywood litter box in a closet with a swinging rubber cat-sized door (the swinging rubber door works as an additional smell barrier) armed with a can of febreeze. It does take a lot to control the odor though (clearly) ... I agree that a lot of cat homes do stink.
wth, cat homes smell??? people homes smell if they don't clean their homes. Also if people make themselves graveyards by eating other dead species than why not our own specie??? what the difference???
My G-d, that's a sin but, that's nothing, i clicked through on your link, found a much more horrible baby story, i swear this world is just unbelievable at times.

Ugh, what have I done?
The city needs to throw the book at these lousy, disposable slum lords. I don't know why half the Bronx isn't already pounding down the doors of the borough president and mayor to do something about these parasites.
There are plenty of rotten landlords but there are also a lot of filthy, unsanitary tenants who leave garbage all around to attract bugs and rats. All you need is one slob in a building to make it miserable for everyone and usually there's a lot more than one.
Lazy section 8 trash who think Section 8 is slavery reparations by the white man.
This and this and 15 minutes, no more rats, unless your a crazy pack rat hoarder we see on the news. Rats and mice are big and easy to stop. Unless they live in your apt in your mess and eat your food. Rats and mice gotta have 3 things, food, shelter, water.
Rats and mice are the least of your problems. Roaches, and especially bedbugs, are 1000x worse than rats. Bedbugs will survive 2x more nuclear radiation than roaches. Arson is the most reliable way to deal with bedbugs.
Couldn't agree with you more.
I've been following this phenomenon for years. Examination of news accounts invariably report that the babies are always from trailer trash or slum-dwelling f*cked up parents who keep their infants in dirty squalor.
Now, rats are highly intelligent mammals who, like us, need to eat. The trashy parents do not clean the food off their babies after feeding them. As a result, the rats come to nibble on the leftovers, usually on the lips or hands, and when that's finished, just continue on.
Where are the parents when their babies are screaming bloody murder?
Can we blame the rats? No! Humans have no problem consuming other mammals.
So, instead of blaming rats or even landlords, we should be blaming filthy dirty parents who don't give a crap for their children's well-being.
(Afterthought: Notice how deafeningly silent FelixThePussy in when it comes to defending rats. Rats are highly intelligent mammals, loving and protective parents with whom humans share some 97% of DNA. That is why they are used to replace humans in psychology or intelligence experiments. Where is PETA on the mass poisoning of rats, our fellow mammals?)
You respond as Bloomberg responds to avoid the facts.

In the future, try to be more original and creative than posting a link to someone else's idea.
thanks dad, I am sorry I offended you. I won't need any allowance this week if that makes it any better for you
If I want shit out of you, I'll squeeze your head.
We were warned...by Banksy.
Wonder how much money that's worth?
Bet Mommy's happy she can cash in on her child's suffering.
And everyone else's rent will go up.
Typical JDS, using a sensational image of a bloodthirsty rat, just like when he writes about pit bulls and uses an unflattering image of a dog ready to pounce. Ummm... It's not rats that are violent, it's the people who train them to be violent! BAN THE ABUSIVE RAT OWNERS, NOT RATS!
Thanks a lot for a picture that will give me N-I-G-H-T-M-A-R-E-S!
