Can rats really learn math???

Before I answer the above question I'd like to mention that McDonalds are in the process of opening 2000+ locations around the world, and looks like the rate of people with heart disease will be increasing as well in other news. Seriously WHY McD WHY? haven't you had enough with screwing with peoples healths. All it takes is just the knot of a fish hook to a double cheeseburger on a front porch; one sniff and out runs Fat Joe leaping on the cheeseburger devoring every scrap of it. My only hope is for them to start some organic lines on their menus or perhaps they could begin a fierce competition with Wendy's adding fruits like Mandarin Oranges to their menu. Can you say L-O-L-O-S cuz that ladies and gentlemen is the new word out on the streets;Should wipe out every fast food conglomerate where good health is concerned. I truly committed in seeing it's success and really hope it becomes gigantic enough for franchising at different locations to commence. One more time: L-O-L-O-S. LOLOS. Hopefully it's popularity down here will equalize with the Runza craze up in Nebraska.
I've also heard that McDonalds will be working overtime to enhance technology at each location just so employees can serve customers a lot quicker. Hmmm wonder what they're planning here. Oh oh I know will crew members be mandated to where hip uniforms while rollerblading around the restaurant with a tray on one hand?; or will customers be given state of the art remote controls that beep when the orders up? That's almost like Whataburger, what..what...whatup?? We'll have to wait and see.

So I just realized the other day teaching kids at the Sylvan Learning Center is similar to teaching rats! It's like when you pull out an assignment from the binder for them to work on they just start doing it, no fuss, no nothing. Same with rats when you give them a piece of cheese they just start munching away. Okay so maybe it isn't the same thing cuz when you give the rat something to do chances are it'll go haywire on ya on the task will incomplete. But what if scientists were to actually devise methods where they taught rats how to learn new subjects like math for instance. It goes a little like this: Scientists inject something, the rats cognitive ability is improved and it is able to learn math. "The formula for the pythagerous theroum is....", says Ratteus.

Mr. Fanza: Alright Ratty here's a fraction for ya how would you multiply 2/3 * 5 1/4?
Ratty: Uhhhh let's see that's easy it is 42/12 which is 2.5
Mr.Fanza: Good work Ratty here's some cheese as a reward
Ratty: uhhh thanks but I'm actually lactose intolerant now
Mr.Fanza: Oh really?
Ratty: Yeah it was a side effect of those damn meds the scientists administered for becoming a math whiz

Hmmmm looks like my comedic abilities can improve a notch HO HO
