Because people hate rat.
So they torture them and use them for animal testing. - Kristen
Rat torture began in 1984 in room 101 located in the ministry love which is situated in an unknown location in Ocenia.
nobody likes em' so we torture em'
Dont get a rat unless you want it! DONT TORTURE AN ANIMAL!!!!!!!!! ESCPECALLY A RAT!!! And you have a rat, like any other small animal, exept for the fact that rats are much BETTER!!!! NEVER FORGET!!!
It means very drunk. I think it came from a medieval torture method,where a rat was placed on the victim's stomach and a bucket placed on top of it. The bucket was then heated and the rat would burrow into the victim's stomach trying to escape. It would eventually come out of the victim's backside.The victim would be dead (from bleeding) by this stage. So being truly "rat-arsed" is not a good thing.
Torture = Tormentum (noun) Torture = Torquere (verb, 'to torture')
Rats were used because they were cheap, easy to get, and around, but nothing lists why or where they were used. The most common tortures in the middle ages had various devices such as the rack, scavengers daughter, the scolds bridle, ducking stool, torture by dislocation, iron balls, water torture, boot torture branding and burning including being burned at the stake, execution by quartering, execution by the wheel, hanging and being hung, drawn and quartered. I think that these were probably enough.
Quote from the Related Link: "A cheap and effective way to torture someone was with the use of rats. There were many variants, but the most common was to force a rat through a victim's body (usually the intestines) as a way to escape. This was done as follows: The victim was completely restrained and tied to the ground or any horizontal surface. A rat was then placed on his stomach covered by a metallic container. As the container was gradually heated, the rat began to look for a way out - through the victim's body. Digging a hole usually took a few hours of agonizing pain for the victim. This almost invariantly resulted in death."
