It is true that guinea pigs sometimes scream and run away when you approach them, but I have one right now that is really tame. When I go to pick her up, she comes up to me hoping I have food.
Ferrets can be vicious lil' bastards. I had a friend once who had wanted a ferret since 1st grade, but when he got it in Junior High, he almost lost a finger. That ferret would simply not let go! :lol: Poor schmuk

Rats can do that sinister business where a bunch of them tie their tails together and form a Rattenkonig (=rat king), that has a group mind intelligent enough to solve the Times crossword in five minutes. Guinea pigs can't seeing as they're under-endowed in the tails department.

Yeah, but everyone knows rat kings are evil, which is dumb.

The rats formed a nation in 1918 called the rat nation out of the frontline battlefields of Europe. Or so he Onion tells us. Rats get my vote.
