[Noisebridge-discuss] The rats are getting ballsy

[Gian Pablo Villamil]

FWIW, I did some reading on the subject, and there is clear evidence
that rats are most active just before dawn and late at night, when
people are not around.

However, if rats are seen to be active when things are lit up, when
people are around, and engaging in risky behavior to get food, this is
a pretty good sign of a rat population explosion (not them getting
more ballsy). They are driven to riskier behavior due to greater
competition for food. This situation also makes them more aggressive.

So chances are that there are a *lot* more rats moving around the
space late at night than we are aware of.

Apparently UV light shows up traces of rat urine, and shows where
they've been. Might be an interesting experiment.
