Rats!

In a very non-brag worthy ranking, New Orleans has landed the number five slot in Animal Planet's "Top Ten Worst Rat Cities in the World." Old homes with cracks and gaps galore practically invite the vermin in while blighted buildings aren't exactly deterring the rodent population. And don't forget about the river rats, having their Templeton-style smorgasbord on the banks of the Mississippi. [Animal Planet]
