Over 3 months, that's about 13 per day. Pretty good, esp. considering he got 67 cents US per rat.

Yarg, who would want to count all those dead rats?!

I hope he didn't turn them all in one one day.

At the end of the three-month campaign, 43-year-old labourer Ismail Hamzah had presented the council with 1,175 rat carcasses - the vast majority of the 1922 total handed in, the New Straits Times newspaper reported today.

Crap. I guess he did!

I dunno. Roughly 700 beans for 3 months of rat-killing�about 13 per day. I guess if you're bored, or something. I would've been tired of it after the first day, though. Or at least gotten a pellet gun and some cheese.
