Iran Sends Snipers to Exterminate Giant Mutant Rats

[fix-the-spade]

And now I want the capybara! :3 Why would anyone harm it? D:

They make for delicious burgers.

I foresee many a young RPG adventurer, beginning their quest...

I can't be the only person envisioning themselves traveling to Iran clad in armor and wielding swords, war-hammers, axes, etc. This is the best news I've read in a long while (despite the fact that it must be horrifying for the people living in Tehran)

Radiation causing rats to grow to monster proportions, yeah I buy that. No, wait, I don't buy that for one fucking second. I have no trouble believing in some 11lb rats in Iran, but the explanation is ridiculous. Being a giant rat sniper sounds like a pretty fun gig though. Would make an interesting resume addition as well.

Eh, I've seen rats that big in Florida, the gators keep the population down though.

Those are Nutria, they're a pestilent problem too, but they're SUPPOSED to get that big.

This story is a exactly a month too early.

The city council may well have said those things, but Iranian politicians are not renowned for their grasp of reality. Radiation and chemicals tend not to work that way. I'll buy that there are large rats there, but there are large rats elsewhere. They get a little over a foot long in New York, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some species in Tehran that gets a little bigger.[/quote

It's probably Nutria or something

I can't help but feel a twist ending coming on.. perhaps it will be something like this this..

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Holy crap! Let's just hope no nuclear energy gets thrown into the mix...

Part of me is incredibly curious what 11 lb rats look like, and the other part loves the idea of having a pet one.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

...this is why the world didn't want Iran to have nuclear power, isn't it? Because we all knew, deep down, that something like this would happen.

Infrared capabilities and Iran don't seem to really match. Going off of how often Ahmadinejad lies to everyone, I'm just gonna be skeptical and say he's looking for a reason to "show off" his military force.

Sounds fun to me, too! It's a shame I'm a filthy Infidel American, or I could get a job as a Mutant Rat Shooter!

When you think about it, it is an awfully conveinient excuse to basically lock down the streets at night in a region where civil wars are the norm.

 

[Longstreet]

So. Where can i apply for this job?

All that sniper training in BFBC2/BF3/Sniper Elite V2 can finally come in handy!

HOW COULD YOU? D:

Nah I'm sure they taste pretty good, probably not far removed from the taste of guinea pig.

11 lb. rats. 11 lb. rats. If they get any bigger, they're going to need anti tank rifles to take them out.

IF they get any bigger, they'll start shooting back.

This is what happens when you leave yellow cake out on the counter overnight...

That's the solution right there. Iran needs to loosen an army of gators on Tehran to battle the mutant giant rat uprising!

Everyone knows that the best way to kill R.O.U.S is with a long-sword and FIRE

Iran is preparing it's squadrons for president Gingrich's eventual Death Star project (after the Moon colonisation of course). You can never think too far ahead with stuff like this.

Btw why not populate Iran with tigers or something? Tigers with "lasers".
