You know how scientists are always doing medical experiments on rodents? It turns out those studies have real-world applications, as this Associated Press story suggests:
A flight crew checking the cabin of a Qantas plane before takeoff found rats in a compartment holding medical equipment, grounding the plane for more than a day, a spokeswoman said Thursday.
Crews did a visual check of the plane Tuesday afternoon and found no more rats or any damage. The rodents had been in a cabinet holding a defibrillator.
It was really cute when, just before applying the electric shock, one of the little fellas squeaked "Clear!"
