Amazing Maurice and the rats turn up in Columbia

[Philippa]

Woke up this morning to hear about the "trained" rats guarded by a "bodyguard" cat working to sniff out landmines. OK, the cat is called Tomas but that could be an alias. Here's the link to the story http://www.nowpublic.com/strange/rats-a ... land-mines

Any other cases where Discworld leaks uncannily into this one?

Wow! What a fascinating story. Although it couldn't be Maurice - that sounds too much like the 'W' word to me.
