Have fun guys! The plague returns!

We need an exterminatus on that ship, stat.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Rats taking cruise ships? It's only a matter of time before Australia's fauna figure out frigates; then we're all fethed.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Dear Canada,

First you give is Bieber. Then you ban imports of Irn Bru. Now you send a ship of cannibal rats, without the decency to even put Justin Bieber on board.

We used to think you were cool. Kind of like the USA, but with more class and less of a thing for invading other countries. We like your maple syrup. We even put up with Alanis Morissette. I mean, she is a little annoying, but when your getting over a bad brake up it kind of helps. She would have been awesome in 1783, but unfortunately wasn't borne then, but thats not your fault. We know that. We sympathize when the USA pokes fun at you. We ;et you share the Queen (And we are very very sorry about Prince Philip. We do try and stop him, but the horse tranquilizers don't seem to work any more).

So, please, can you stop this?

Regards,
The United Kingdom

You forgot Nickelback, Celine Dion, exporting asbestos. They might as well had put them all on the same boat.

As much as making fun of them seems to be the *cool* thing to do, I don't mind hearing them. I'm not going to say they're good, but they're no worse than a lot of other music.

Like watching other people play video games (badly) while blathering about nothing in particular? Check out my Youtube channel: joemamaUSA!

Why not just sink the ship? Seems like a massive bio hazard, so just dedicate some resources to finding it and then sink it in the ocean.

Plus, I am pretty sure this was the plot to a resident evil game, and no one wants to repeat that.

They can't find it, apparently every time they send people to board it, it disappears.


And yes, Resident Evil Dead Aim is the game.

They are not bad.

Apparently they did, but before they could get to it it disappeared again.


I'm not saying that the rats have gained intelligence, but the rats have definitely gained intelligence.
