Land Mines
Who Knew?
Gambian Rats are now helping rid the world of some of the 100 million land mines that are out there. Pretty nifty.
Speaking of rats, it appears that under the Bush administration the US will not sign a comprehensive ban on land mines. Costa Rica, in comparison, has "never produced, imported, stockpiled, or used antipersonnel mines" according to the International Campaign To Ban Landmines website. In fact, this article states that we've been landmine free since December of 2002. Which is nice, especially if you like having legs, which we do.
Here is another link regarding banning land mines.
