I don't know if this happens in other places, but in New York when there are labor demonstrations sometimes the unions put a giant rat outside the place that they are protesting. I came across this rat today and thought I'd snap a quick picture. (Sorry it's not such a good photo, I was hoping they wouldn't notice me taking a picture.) But the workers were really nice and even asked if I wanted my picture with the rat! They were protesting against a construction company they felt was exploiting the workers. I hope they win their fight!Thursday, April 3, 2008

I have never heard of that before, I'll have to do some research now to find out why. Thanks.
That is ONE BIG RAT!!
Where's the Cheese??
Funny photo!
I heard NYC had some huge rats ...
il est encore la, lui. Je le rencontre a chaque voyage a NYC, il représente pas les grévistes du service de nettoyage ?
Il est impressionnant, surtout dans l'ombre sur ta photo, on a l'impression qu'il va nous attaquer.
It is still him. I encounter each trip NYC, it is not the strikers of the cleaning service?
It is impressive, especially in the shade on your photo, the impression that he will attack us.
I've never seen the huge rat. Good way to catch attention. Reminds me of the saying; "I smell a rat!"
Wow I learned something today. I never knew they did that. I got the picture quite nicely.
certain "industries" they are indeed as enormous mice that nourish him some blood of the workers
I would run as far and as fast as I could from that thing......Rats, even fake ones give me the hee.bee.gee.bies!!
They don't have this here in the UK. Its a really good idea and you've taken a great photo. Did you get him to smile by saying "Cheese"! :)
