    Funny story...Halifax Rats

    I was down the Halifax waterfront a few years back, during the summer tourist season, talking to a friend of mine who worked security down there. It was about 2 in the afternoon and it was about 30 degrees. Scorching hot. My buddy points out this huge wharf rat sitting in the shade of a lone...
