#3 Quick! We need a few hundred really, really, big ones for the halls of Congress!

Don't worry - they will be well fed! Might get a bit in indigestion tho....

#5 and another 40 dozen or so around the Senate. Can we plant some outside Rahm Emanuel's window too?

#6 Will they live in the leaded sludge in the white house garden?
If so plant as many as it takes.

#7 No rodents for Rham's office please. He might teach them to dance. There is also the adaptive evolution gene tree issue, reproduction, etc. The idea of four legged Rhams is an absolute turn-off.

#8 Weird, idea association, reminds me of an until that very moment forgotten SF short novel I read eons ago in an anthology (btw, anyone gets the author/title from what follows???)... a tongue-in-cheek report about a series of catastrophic, cascading failures brought in by hapless geneticists introducing new species to "improve" the environment, in a "yeah, it was suposed to do AAA, but it does BBB, but, don't worry, we'll introduce this which will do CCC and fix that small mishaps", matters-of-facts format.

It among others had a giant venus flytrap that unfortunately didn't help get rid of rats and assorted vermins as planned, but instead smelled pleasantly and heavily of candy and fudge, and was bound to be found in abundant number in damp, dark places, like under the stairs of a kindergarden school, or under the tobogans at a child's playground.

Hey, most toddlers are less intelligent than the average rat, anyway! It's natural selection, survival of the fittest (the fattest gets eaten).
