Welcome to Shocker, Hero and Whinger of the Week.
Here’s how it works: Each week, we pick the biggest Shocker, Hero and Whinger from the last seven days. Shocker is whatever moment or person left our jaws on the floor. Hero is whoever won the week by being awesome. And whinger? Well, that’s pretty much just someone who has had a major sooky-la-la moment. Let’s do this.
Shocker of the week goes to…
THIS MOTHER F##KING RAT HOLY OPRAH WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE:
viaA sixteen-inch rat was caught in an unsuspecting Swedish family’s home this week.
That’s 39 FREAKING CENTIMETRES.
According to local news, the rat chewed its way through the floor and pretty much took over the kitchen; the family was too scared to go in there for a week. Apparently it became so comfortable and domesticated, it wasn’t even scared of people and set itself up in a pretty sweet position under the kitchen table.
Eventually the family called pest controllers, who set up traps and caught the epic ratzilla king of nightmares. Which is kind of sad, but the alternative was almost certainly a horrific death at the claws of a rat monster.

I'm not even joking when I say I would have moved out of that house the first time I came across that thing. I am absolutely petrified of rats. When I went overseas last year I came home to find we had one in the house. I made my mother clean the cupboard out that it had been residing in, even when we were fairly sure it had eaten the poison and was dead.....somewhere.
16 inches is 40.6cm, not 39cm.
either way it's f**ing too big to be lurking in my kitchen!
