Astronomers have discovered that the moon is indeed the next planet to be inhabited. Not by man, but by animals. The animal of choice to be Rats.
Eugene Watts has been collecting rats for the past six months just for this very project. Presently he has approximately 6 million, sixty thousand and sixty six of these rodents that are now ready to fly to the moon.
The Unites States Department of Energy is doing a study on how much energy these rodents could produce while running steadily on their little wheels.
Transporting the 6 million plus rodents to the moon will be a job for NASA and they are gearing up to take a few men and the rats to the moon to set up the test grounds.
When this job is complete "you should see a considerable more brightness to the moon as these rodents start peddling their little wheels" said the NASA spokesman.
"Things have been on the hush hush side since NASA does not want Russia to know about this little experiment and get their rodents up their ahead of us", relays an unidentified source.
"They may need more rats for this job" squealed Watts with delight, and I am just the guy who can get em' for them".
Neighbors who were aware of all the rats living in Eugene Watts' house were wondering just how much he gets paid per rat.
Watts replied with a wink, "I don't give a rat's ass how much they pay me, it's a government project so you know it will be big bucks"!
