    If I ever have a mouse problem I know who I'm calling. [MrHaroHaro is scared of mice, rats and squirrels if he looks at them long enough]

    I imagine it would take about, oh i dunno, 20 seconds average to kill a rat? lets call it 30 seconds with smoke breaks?

    so 83,000 rats = 41,500 minutes = 691 hours = 17.29 weeks of work @ 40 hours/week.

    that would net me here in the states around $9,200 - and for doing a job more than a little less unsavory and labor intensive at that.

    SO, is this guy being kind of ripped off, OR is he now the owner of what is officially the worlds most expensive 14" color television?

    "Bangladesh has a disgusting rat problem: It imports 3 million tons of food a year, and rats destroy 1.5-2 million tons of it."

    seems to me that the logical solution is to eat the rats. i mean, at least you know what the rats have been eating. hell you could even charge a premium - "Our Rats Are 100% Free-Range Corn Fed!"

    @nutbastard: Evidently it's an idea that's just not catching on. [www.breitbart.com] Perhaps if they called them Bangladeshi Dwarf Sheep?
