The Xtreme Rat Challenge is the capstone project to a behavioral science psychology course in which furry white rats compete ghetto booty in five competitive events. Twenty-two students, who have never kissed a woman, have trained their rats throughout the semester for events including the one hundred meter sewage swim, nightgown, consumption of own young, plague spreading, and a new event involving humping a toy poodle, which promises to be a real crowd pleaser.

You can lead a rat to the gym, but you can't make it lift weights...
Wait a minute...
Apparantly you CAN!

Several changes have been made to the celebration since its inception including the use of all female rats, shifting the affair from a classroom activity to a campus and community-wide event that attracts approximately 300 people,
Why female rats? And why do female rats draw more than 300 people? And do I really want to know?
*glad b/c she's a long way from the rat lovers of Lincoln*

Fed, I hate to admit this, but the rats in your link are kind of, uh... cute. They look a little like wombats.
Hope they don't go all to pieces or lose their heads.

Click on my name for the link - thanks goodness for these shortcuts for the non-HTML-literate.

Why do I always translate 'HTML' in my head to 'HoT MaLe'?

Megan- Oh, gee, I don't know...wishful thinking?
That's what keeps me up nights!

I wonder why no one mentioned that Xtreme Rat Challenge wbagnfarb.

I don't know about rats, but I work with mice and we use all females because they don't smell nearly as bad as the males. (Scent marking and all that.) Maybe rats are similar in that respect.
