For some reason this blows my mind. A big ship floating around abandoned like that? If you were one of those scrap guys, would you go on that ship for a million bucks?
I wonder if you could set off a rat bomb type thing and gas them first? Yes, this is the way my mind works. LOL
Hmmm....cannibal rats...with nothing else to eat....seems to me like after a while the problem would solve itself.

Sounds like evil Canadian government experiments gone wrong to me!
Hmm..Ghost Ship, Night Shift, Hannibal, Silence of the Lambs, I'm sure there's more but wow..keep that ship away from the coast!

LOL! I think you may be onto something, Ken! Maybe I didn't give the Canadians enough credit. After all they did give us John Candy and The Kids in the Hall. And can't forget mail order prescription pain killers! Very sly, Canada! Very sly!

Seized a ship from the Russians?
ROFLMAO!
The Russians dumped it.
The Canadians tried to scrap it.
And activated a Stalin era weapon.
I'll miss Europe.
I'll miss the the mail order pain meds!

The article could be a horror story in itself.

Rats eat each other normally.
They manage to overcome this by breeding constantly
The rats just have to shag each other faster than they can snack on each other. Ahhhh...the wheels of life.

Where do you think fertility drugs come from?
I just thought they were ordered from a Canadian online pharmacy :)

Slightly off topic...My granddad was in the Royal Navy during WWII as an engineer in the fleet. He was completely toothless and he told us that on one occasion the ship he was on encountered a deserted vessel off South Africa somewhere. Six engineers including him were ordered onto the vessel to see if they could start the engines. They all got sick very quickly and were rushed to hospital in Durban where all of his teeth, and those of his colleagues, fell out in less than 24 hours.
We thought it was a tall tale to explain away his false teeth. However when he died we found his diary , which was absolutely fascinating. Only three pages had clearly been torn out - the dates immediately before and after he was in hospital on Durban.
I'm still not sure what that was all about!
That's messed up, David.I remember seeing a documentary on PBS about some of the US Navymen near the Bikini Atoll when atomic testing started. They were lined up on a ship and one of the other officers was testing each man with a geiger counter. When the counter went off, he would point them to a tub of water and some soap. No lie. They thought it could be washed off.
Ghost Ship: Cannibal RatsSounds like a good cheesy SyFy movie
If they're cannibal rats with no other source of food, surely eventually there'll just be one morbidly obese rat on the ship... ;-)
