Finally a use for rats! Now if they could only use cockroaches with lead weights on them I would feel even less.

Heh. They don't actually use the rats to explode the mines. They train the rats from birth to associate the smell of explosives with food, and then they can let the rats find the mines, mark them, and dismantle them or set them off once the rat is away again.

That is good but I still think they should use cockroaches to blow them up once the rats are outta there.

That's such a neat idea. It sort of leads me to think of LUL training their tube mice to sniff out bombs...
