I really don't give a rat's ass if you care about rats or not....but this story on NPR the other day was very interesting.......something to think about when you are done with all your chores, relaxing in the big chair in front of the fire place:
A new study found that rats are actually quite willing to come to another rat's aid, freeing a rat trapped in a container. And they're not just doing it for a dose of sugar water or some other reward; they're doing it out of empathy of the other rat's plight."

We have mice in the garage. We've been killing them.
Now I feel really bad.
