Creature in the wall in The Stick of Truth?
In the sewers in South Park: The Stick of Truth, there's a pair of eyes in a hole in the wall. I tried to snort that angel dust that shrinks you down, but to no avail. Help me, eh??
Is it true alligators live in the sewer?
The experts speak: "The theme of displaced creatures is an old one, and modern folklore has spawned many rumors of an animal — usually a fearsome one — lurking where it does not belong." — Jan Harold Brunvand, folklorist "I would bring leftovers from lunch, a long line and a hook, and spend a part of each day in the sewers looking for alligators. I saw rats, cockroaches — probably caught a lot of sicknesses — but I never saw anything like an alligator." — Frank Indiviglio, herpetologist "It’s like the Loch Ness Monster or the Big Foot. People believe in those stories up to a point that it does make sense." — Esteban Rodriguez, NYC sewer worker "What could better serve as a metaphor for the city as a jungle than the belief that the New York sewer system is filled with albino alligators, which swim through toilet pipes and bite victims in public washrooms?" — Gary Alan Fine, folklorist
What could be living in my sewer???
Lately when I take the garbage to the curb at night, animals get into it before the trash man comes in the morning. But the other day they had taken one of the small bags and dragged it into the opening of the sewer. By the way the bottom was torn, it wasn't kids; it was some sort of creature. So what do you think it is???
Can a sewer rat be eaten if cooked properly?
Brown rats and roof rats were eaten openly on a large scale in Paris when the city was under siege during the Franco-Prussian War. Observers likened their taste to both partridges and pork. And, according to the Larousse Gastronomique, rats are still eaten in some parts of France. In fact, this recipe appears in that famous tome.In West Africa, however, rats are till date a major item of diet. the giant rat (Cricetomys), the cane rat (Thryonomys), the common house mouse, and other species of rats and mice are all eaten. According to a United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization report, they now comprise of over 50 percent of the locally produced meat eaten in some parts of Ghana. Between December 1968 and June 1970, 258,206 pounds of cane-rat meat alone were sold in one market in Accra! (As per wikipedia)So, the answer is YES. Sewer rats can be eaten.The critical hazards:Similar to other Rodents, brown rats or sewer ratsmay carry a number of pathogens, which can result in disease, including Weil's disease, rat bite fever, cryptosporidiosis, viral hemorrhagic fever, Q fever and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. In the United Kingdom, brown rats are an important reservoir for Coxiella burnetii, the bacterium that causes Q fever, with seroprevalence for the bacteria found to be as high as 53% in some wild populations. (As per wikipedia)However, by cooking at a very high temperature, you might be able to get rid of many of the pathogens, but the fact remains that rodents feed a lot on waste and human/animal remains.Eating cooked rats is possible, but if not cooked properly can lead to various ailments and even death. (Though I do not have nay source on death due to eating sewer rats, these deaths are common in countries where people eat rats.)
Do you believe there are giant alligators in New Yorks sewers?
Where there's a will,there's a way...any open space Nature will fill it..ater 40,000 years of evolution,the freshwater crocodile developed 2 extra eyelid coverings to compensate the transition from saltwater to freshwater from their salty brothers..Don't know about giants though..maybe check the pipes leading from gyms or Sly Stallone's house..you might get lucky...
How do i convince my mom that hamsters aren't like sewer rats?
I can tell you right now, it'll be very hard to change her opinion. My mom and dad used to despise rodents, but then one of my friends moved to Korea and gave us his hamster. After the first 3 or 4 days, my parents were in love with him! He was sooo sweet. You could possibly drag your mother to a pet store and show her the hamsters, on the off chance that she'll like them. Really, though, hamsters are much different than rats or mice. The creatures she saw were feral, wild animals. Hamsters are domesticated and therefore have no relations to rats and mice (and other feral rodents) apart from their instincts. You could try explaining that to your mom; hopefully that would work! As a last resort, you could also explain to her that the hamster would be YOUR pet, and therefore you would take care of it, and make sure it never escapes; that way she'd never have to come in contact with it. Good luck!
Are raccoons really that dangerous??
Yes, it is bad to feed wildlife and have them become acclimated to humans. They will now associate humans with food and may end up getting harmed by someone who thinks they are being too aggressive or they may end up hurting someone for trying to get too close. NO, do NOT try to pet one..they are still wild animals and are unpredictable. If you pet one and are bitten, animal control will trap and kill it and test it for rabies. They may round up all the raccoons in the area if they are now approaching people for food and euthanize them all. Tell your neighbors to stop feeding them..this is not helping them..it will eventually sentence them to death. Let wildlife fend for themselves.
Which animals, if flushed down the toilet, would be able to survive the drain fall, swim out of the sewers, and crawl its way back to life?
What animals could survive a trip through the toilet and waste pipes into the sewers? It depends much more on the type of sewers than the type of animal. Many modern sewers don’t have open flow underground sewage ditches like you may have seen on television. The sewage travels through pipes to lift stations, and the lift stations grind the materials and pump them to other lift stations, until the sewage reaches the treatment facility. Not even a cockroach can survive that trip.Another sewage system in rural homes empties waste into an underground septic tank, that discharges into a drainfield, so the hapless creature would be trapped in an underground tank, even if it survived the flushing and made it through the tank discharge outlet.For a city dweller who flushes a small creature like a frog or turtle down the pipe, if they live on a first floor and their system has a direct discharge into the sewer system, these creatures could survive surprisingly easily. The time in the resident’s sewer pipe might only be a few seconds, the drop into the sewage stream may only be a few feet, and besides the odor and overall nastiness of the situation, there isn’t any real cause for trauma that would crush or smash the little guy. Small snakes, or even small rodents could survive the trip, and there are probably other critters that could, too. I wouldn’t want to think about the little animal that got flushed from a 50th floor commode, though…
How do i kill that monster in the sewers while im waiting for the lift in resident evil 4?
The easiest way to kill it is to use the Magnum or Broken Butterfly and use the orange cannisters filled with liquid nitro dotted around the area. You can use the shotgun too or some other less powerful weapon but it'll take longer and require the use of all the canisters to freeze him obviously. Without going into a great long winded boring walkthrough about it, all you do is when you get next to one of the canisters you can press A and knock it over, if the creature is close by, it freezes it and you're able to shoot at it briefly and inflict some major damage. Then you run off and find the next one. Have a look at this YouTube video I found, it should show you what I mean.
Why do only humans have to clean water before drinking but animals don't need?
We don’t need to. In fact, for most of human history, we didn’t, just as animals don’t. For the large part of history, people took their water from the nearest river, well, or pump. As more than a billion people still do.And they died of it. Waterborne diseases such as cholera were a major killer. Animals in the wild have much shorter lifespans than animals in captivity, even ignoring predation. And humans “in the wild” were the same. And a major cause of death was contaminated water.And the more humans there were, the harder the problem became. A village of a hundred or so people can easily collect water from upstream of the village, and ensure sewage flows downstream. But is someone builds a new village a couple of miles upstream, you are, unknowingly, getting their sewage in your water. Not much sewage in a lot of water to start with, so not too many die. But as the villages get more numerous, and some turn into towns, the problem gets worse. The population grows - but that population growth also kills.And cities were worse. For the most of its life as a city, London was a net importer of people. More people died there than were born there. Because the death rate was high, but people kept pouring in from the villages and towns outside, London’s population grew despite the fact that it ate its own children, plus those of others. Until Bazalgette put the main sewers in, and London’s water became clean almost overnight. Then London turned from an importer to an exporter of people, despite accelerated growth.So humans only need to clean their water if they don’t want to die like animals.
