Entry #35 - Vermin Growing Pains
04.08.5504 -- The rats are revolting. And I'm not talking about their ever-nasty habit of leaving half-eaten foodstuff laying about the den. No, what I'm referring to an increasingly antisocial attitude on the little rodents' part. And while it's not entirely new behavior it's definitely gotten worse as they've continued to evolve; continued to become more intellectually complex - existentially aware.
At first, when the rats were initially transformed, their newfound consciousness was constrained in exhibition to a kind of edgy curiosity - like a pack of hyperactive kids never short of a snappy reply. But that was about as bad as it got. Now, however, since they've evolved and developed more complex egos, their attitudes are turning downright ugly at times - and not just a little bit frightening.
Why this should surprise me I can't say.

Earth News: Top Story...
Solar Frontier Mar. 16, 2004 - Astronomers have identified an icy, red, planet-like object orbiting the sun 8 billion miles away, a distance that is nearly three times as far as Pluto and stretches the limits of the solar system far beyond anything yet discovered.
Scientists said the object may be the first visible evidence of the Oort cloud, a massive spherical shell of comets thought to be loosely orbiting the sun and extending outward almost halfway to the nearest star. Should the object prove to be part of the Oort cloud, it could also provide new evidence supporting the theory that the early solar system was formed when the sun was part of a closely knit cluster of stars..
