Oh rats

With the Pixar animated film Ratatouille set to open June 29, inevitably some people are going to start thinking about whether rats make good pets.

Here is a guide to selecting a pet rat and keeping it in your home. Did you know the male is called a buck and the female is called a doe?

Anyone have any first-hand knowledge of keeping the little critters?

Take a look at the teaser for the movie, but bear in mind your pet rat won't be such a gourmand.



While looking around for some clips for this blog entry, I ran across a disturbing music video made by Crispin Glover, who starred in Willard. In the video, Glover sings Ben while cavorting with rats and models and, at one point, someone who looks like Hitler.

You know it's disturbing when the rats are the most appealing thing in it.

I'm not going to embed the video here or link to it, but you've got all the information you need to Google it.

I'm going to go scrub my eyes now.
