I want to be the king of Rat Island.

The New York Post is awesome. Dig this:
There are no more rats on Alaska's Rat Island.

Rodents have lived there for 229 years, since their ancestors deserted a sinking Japanese ship. Since then, they've been busy eating all the birds.

But federal officials said yesterday the rats are gone, thanks to a war waged last fall by helicopter crews dropping poison. Even the birds are back, the feds crowed.

Shit. What are they going to call Rat Island now? It had such a good ring! Rat. Island. It sounds like a magical kindgom, where rodents have developed an advanced civilization, bats are their mailmen, cheese is their currency! Whate are they going to call it now? FORMERLY Rat Island?
