Friday Not-My-Pet Blogging Mark II

I know that Ron and Jazz have done an admirable job of posting about the new rodent discovered in Laos, but in my opinion, they missed the most important line:

Dr. Timmins said he was not tempted to feast on a rock rat and never thought to ask what it tasted like. A trip to the market, he said, made it clear that "in Laos, pretty much everything gets eaten."

Luckily, I don't have any need to make this stuff up.
