Are you never more than 6ft away from a rat?

Studies are made on some really crazy subjects. There is an old saying, 'we're never more than six feet away from a rat'.

It is true that most of us are virtually physically attached to a mouse most of the time these days. However, we do not care much for the larger rodent, the rat. Another statistic says that the number of rats outnumber the number of humans.

The premise may well be true in India if it is the political rodent that we are discussing!
