Oct 4 2009Bangladeshi Man Kills 83,000 Rats, Wins TV
Seen here doing God knows what, 40-year old Bangladeshi farmer Mokhairul Islam killed 83,450 rats from January to September and won the coveted #1 Rat Slaya title. His reward: a 14-inch color television.
Proof of his accomplishment came in the form of 83,450 rat's tails delivered by Mr Islam to local officials.
"Rodents are the most feared enemy for farmers, so it is an honour to win this prize," he said.The competition aims to reduce the damage done to crops in the impoverished land, with an estimated 6.5 million rats killed this year. The Government estimates that as much as 10 per cent of Bangladesh's annual harvest of rice, wheat and potatoes is devoured by rodents.
Pfft, for that kinda prize I woulda killed at least twice that many rats. WITH LASERS. Just saying, you ever had laser-roasted womp rat before? I have -- on Tatooine! Also, don't tell Luke but I've seen Leia naked. He might get jealous!

Thanks to trishna87, who's actually Bangladeshi and I've promised to help win the title next year. I hope we get a cassette player!

It's nice that he actually wins something, but why does it look like he's upset to be there getting a prize? I bet all he wants is to go back and pwn some more rats.
