too many rats
nobody crammed them in the box
they fucked their way into hell

When I first read about the rat box study fifty years ago I imagined beatnik rats, wearing berets and dark sunglasses, something he wrote about a "bohemian" lifestyle some rats adapted to.

why am I so interested in rats
I just like that line "rats on the fritz"
that is a brilliant twist of language and I missed it :?
(edit 12/31/2012 lost the tread, "rats on the..."fritz >justwalt link here

I got forty five posts about dead rats with maggots, about my wandering childhood along the water front and back alleys of Baltimore.

a dead rat with maggots
now there is a rat on the fritz for sure.

somebody does and experiment fifty years ago, and over time it's reified.
