In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

Trebuchet of the rats, by the rats, for the rats.

I have two pet rats, and I'm pretty confident that they'd love a trebuchet. I could see one of them operating while the other is the ammunition.

Or, both operating with more conventional projectiles. Rats crave destruction and chaos. And also cuddles.

Lowers binoculars and looks at my fellow Imperial gunners

See them? The rats are up to something.
