Shame the Chinese gov didn’t think to consult Dopeville before making the school-boy error of unleashing giant mutant ninja-pirate Eagles on the GFGs (Giant Freaking Girbils), no chance of that plan going horribly wrong, eh?

The answer (predictably) is of course 1920’s style death-rays.

BTW, do GFGs count as WMDs?  
Is this why Saddam was importing so much sunflour seed to Iraq?

What about those population projections that suggest that if you cross-bred giant chinese gerbils with lemmings and marched them into the sea two-by-two the line would never end?

You know, only about 15 people will get that. Its damn funny to those who do.

Now then, contiue with your Richard Gere/RUS jokes.
