Talk:Giant Rat of Sumatra

Indiscriminate list
True. However I removed the tag. There does not seem to be a way to present this material except as an indiscriminate list. Readers can choose to check out the list or ignore it as they like. I think many will find it interesting and I don't see how anyone will be harmed or offended. Borock (talk) 16:07, 1 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Upon the discovery of seven new species of extinct giant rats on the island of East Timor, i have updated and more intensively linked the article with other areas within Wikipedia and supplied a new reference. Long live the Giant Rat of Sumatra! -- catherine yronwode, not logged in 75.101.104.17 (talk) 20:26, 9 November 2015 (UTC)


 * And, as a fan of anomaly, i just love the fact that this article has been officially assessed as a "Low-importance Rodent article." Perfect! --cat yronwode, not logged in 75.101.104.17 (talk) 23:15, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Alleged Solution
This user at mathoverflow claims the Giant Rat in fact comes from an obscure math textbook: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/22299/what-are-some-examples-of-colorful-language-in-serious-mathematics-papers/57044#57044. This may be of use to some, though of dubious credibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.26.178.159 (talk) 19:52, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
