Live rat falls from ceiling and lands on table at Buffalo Wilds Wings

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-rat-falls-ceiling-table-buffalo-wilds-wings-n1020761

A customer at a Buffalo Wild Wings in California was recently met with something wild that wasn't a wing — a live rat that fell from the ceiling, forcing the restaurant to temporarily shut down.

Alisha Norman said she was watching the Women’s World Cup soccer game at Buffalo Wild Wings in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles with friends on Thursday when a rat fell onto a table.

Norman, who lives in Houston, Texas, was vacationing in California. She said she had yet to order when she heard something overhead.

"I knew the rat was going to be injured because it hit like a Mack truck," she told NBC Los Angeles. "It was big."

From Wikipedia:

"Ben" won a Golden Globe for Best Song. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1973, losing to "The Morning After" by Maureen McGovern from The Poseidon Adventure; Jackson performed the song in front of a live audience at the ceremony.[3] The song was Jackson's first U.S. #1 solo hit.
