[News] Ghost ship filled with cannibal rats headed to Great Britain.

I REMEMBER THIS SHIP.

It was sealed up in St. Johns harbour forever. The owner (yes, someone owns it) refused to have it moved. We had it towed out to sea because it was taking up valuable space and was becoming a hazard.

Then it almost ran into Hibernia and we towed it further after the fucker still refused to do anything with it.

There's some dude out there that is hoping his ship full of biological warfare rats are going to run aground.

I like this post for two reasons. NUMBER ONE: It is informative. NUMBER TWO: It is the first time in years I have heard the sentence "I remember this ship" and doesn't involve the romantic lives of fictional characters.

You've obviously never read her slash fan fiction with this ship and Titanic.

I'll never look at a propeller the same way ever again.
 
Rats tend to live two to three years. They can become pregnant by the age of three to four months, with a one month gestation period, and a litter of rat pups tends to be eight to twelve babies, but sometimes more. After they're born, the mother can become pregnant again.

Consider those brief lifespans and the size of the litters, with the number of decades that have passed with no other food present but other rats. Dozens of generations of rats eating each other, with the strongest rats surviving to eat those, breed more, et cetera. Likely you're looking at multiple colonies nested in different parts of the ship, but ignoring that and just going from a survival of the fittest perspective, at this point those are some mean fucking rats, descending from generation after generation of mean fucking rats.

I love rats and I would be terrified to set foot on that ship.

Holy shit, so it's like the rat version of all those post-apocalyptic movies!

...someone needs to turn this into a mod (or DLC) for Fallout.

Isn't this how it happened in Dracula?!? For real. Watch for a large dog leaping from the deck when it makes landfall under the cover of a huge storm. Followed by Victorian women suddenly thinking sex is neato.
