Anybody who follows my work on any sort of regular basis understands that I find science facinating.  I"ll commonly post little articles that I find to be curious or worth discussing.  This time I'm going to point out something about the way the article is written.  It starts off by telling us this is the biggest rat ever.  Then a few paragraphs later it tells us that it's bigger even than a giant rat elsewhere.  Then it tells us that it's bigger than a capybara.  Well we've already established that it's big. 

 

Also if I ever see a rat that weighs 2000 pounds, I'm going to get a fucking tank.
