Rats ...

Some people are just better entrepreneurs than others. Take the folk in China who have seized the opportunity of a rat plague and turned it into a windfall by trucking the rats from Hunan province to Guangzhou where, it's said, people will eat most anything that moves. The rats are being sold as a gourmet dish - and it's okay if the Guangzhou locals develop a taste for it because there appears to be no shortage of supply. The plague is the result of flooding of a lake which has displaced an estimated two billion (yes, that was TWO BILLION) rats.
