Justin Grubbs (the_purple_knight) says: It’ has the face of a hamster
Vlad Taltos (flyingfish) says: Or maybe a gerbil?
Andy Wetmore (efogoto) says: But that tail is all rat, all right.
Basil Jelly (basil_jelly) says:
And the kerosene that was mentioned earlier makes its second appearance.
Unity is on the case!
James Rice (jhrice) says: It’s either an Ur-gerbil or an R.O.U.S.
K. Myers (bassetking) says:
R.O.H.S. I believe, Mr. Rice, pronounced as you would “Tip is so far up the creek without a paddle, he is unable to R.O.H.S. himself to safety.”
NigaiAmai Yume (nigaiamai_yume) says:
Unfortunately, Skip has yet to learn monstrosities produced through Mad Science rarely add up to the sum of their parts. “So I should do EXTRA well with a human-sized rat.” Ya, right.
Ya, sure, I know it’s mostly Tip trying to CONVINCE himself rather than an actual belief, but still, if he hasn’t put together 1 + 2 = Lack of Reason by now, it’s his own fault.
Michael Brewer (wusemajor) says: On the upside, if the Rat really is the last link in the chain, perhaps he can convince it to relocate to Artie’s Rodent Paradise. I refuse to belive that anyone as nice as Artie wouldn’t have started a privately funded habitat or two for other trans-genic rodents.
David Harmon (mental_mouse) says:
Um, that rat isn’t human sized, he’s bear-sized!
Basil: Just because it’s dripping doesn’t mean it’s kerosene….
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Tip is juicy-looking? He looks a little tough and stringy to me … maybe needs a good marinade and some plum sauce.
…er, that just being a humorous observation and not based on personal experiences of cannibalism in any way. Really.
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says: Well, on the scale of psychologists, he may well be on the juicy end. At least in the rat’s personal experience.
Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says: And that is why you should never go in a Secret Government Basement with less than a .44 Magnum.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says: Hey ho. Oh well– at least he’s sentient. Again.
Jeremy Berg (pisceneanteater) says: Is it just me, or is that rat friggin’ adorable?
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
Ed, don’t be silly. We need honey glazing and chocolate sauce, here.
. . . . . . . . . .. .. … . . hmmm. Hmmmmm. Hmm.
Jane Narbon (lady_madsci) says: That is a rat.
Basil Jelly (basil_jelly) says: I abhor the implication that the Civil service is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that we now have the problem relatively under control.

Bill McGann (odo) says: Did someone say “hamster”? Anybody got duct tape?
Ryan Boes (thatguy) says: Maybe, when the rat says juicy, he means hot. I’m not going to judge him, Tip is hot

Rugby Player A: “Rugby players eat their dead!!!”
Rugby Player B: “No, we eat our *wounded*. The dead we leave for the fans…”
Tip did not follow this line of thoughts to its terrible conclusion. As a research psychologist he knows a lot about the rats from experience. But then, a rat may in turn know a thing or two about the research psychologists, from similar experience…
