Giant Rat Killed With Pitchfork At Brooklyn's Marcy Houses

  Quote

Jose Rivera, a Housing Authority worker, was clearing a rat hole when three of the mutants popped out, The New York Daily News reports, but he was only able to nab one. It appears to be almost three feet long, including the tail.

My thoughts exactly

3ft (including tail) is not that big for a wild rat.

I bet that chap holding the pitchfork is Mugsy Bogues too

RIP giant rat

I've seen a rat not much smaller than that at Sainsbury's.

I think they inject water into them to bulk them up so you buy more

Was expecting it to be killed by a mediocre rating of 3.8 by snazzily shirted hipsters

LOL

This is the 21st century, why the hell does that picture have so many compression artifacts on it? Did they take it with the first web cam ever made?

at first it said mutants and i thought this rat had grown wings lol

the article reads as if this rat is indeed bigger than any (that at least i have) seen in the subway, but watmmers just now pointed out how perspective does seem a bit skewed after all. regardless: NOPE NOPE NOPE

Brooklyn & Pitchfork.

I was really hoping this would be hipster related somehow.

Is that Jay-Z holding 50 Cent on a pitchfork?

Giant hipster killed by Pitchfork.
