I actually didn't see the wound until I looked at the photos. It was night-time and fairly dark, and the thing kept moving around, so I didn't get a good look at it. But the cold hard light of the camera's flash really picks out how agonizing that wound looked.
Anyway, no, I didn't get the camera with comedic intentions in mind. I got it because I thought "hey, rats are disgusting, maybe they'd be good for the cover of a Wrong Treatment CD or something". I actually took a couple of photos and a video of the rat before I caught it. When I got the camera I thought the poor thing was dead. Taking photos of dead things is no less weird than taking photos of horribly injured things, so I'm not really sure why I'm using that as some sort of excuse.
I can't remember when it struck me that I should make a lolrat. I think you'll all agree that it was important that I did, though.

That would make me happy if I could be bothered to feel anything at all EMOTIONS ARE TOO MUCH LIKE HARD WORK.
