Delve your eyes into the mighty nast world of the grotesque. Peace be with the fellow who finds the skeleton of an ancient (or just a little rotten) rat found in the wall of the house he’s refurbishing. Blech! Take a peek at this very real work of design genius made by the hand of God him or herself. Photos taken today at an undisclosed location in South Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the depths of a house built in 1916.

Images of this rat are fully public domain, use how you wish, if you wish.
