Griff doesn't have a neighbourhood.
Despite what Despicable Me might lead you to believe, most super-villains have their secret bases away from suburbia.
The rolling Welsh countryside covered with attack sheep are perfect for Griff's needs.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Does your cat deep fry the rats and adds some tabasco and nacho on them? 
No but I am seriously wondering why rats would give your cat the squits, I mean the meat alone shouldn't be a problem. I am only wondering this because I have pets myself - not cats though, not any more.

Not sure - I suspect it's a form of gastroenteritis that the rats are carrying, since when he manages to partially eat them he gets the squits that night. And he's fairly indiscriminate what parts he eats since he really doesn't want me taking them off him. He's not too bad with smaller stuff, but the bigger the prey the more he wants to eat it.
I'm hoping it's that, and not a reaction to any rat poison they have eaten (and I know there are people round here who have called in the rat man)

Next door.
I hadn't seen a rat in 10 years when we moved here - then new neighbours moved in and they decided to get ducks. And suddenly, he's bring in around 5 rats a week...fortunately all recently dead so far, unlike his mice, shrews, voles, moles, and birds.

I've been discussing with my (the IT) director about having a monthly sacrifice of a user.
The logic being they'll fall all over themselves to not get chosen for the honor. And if not, we still cull the herd and reap the long-term benefits.

To whom will the monthly (l)user be sacrificed? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Not relevant - just so the charred bones remain piled up and distinctly visible as a reminder until the next full moon.

Sounds like an old Management-IT story I heard, it goes something like this.
Man #1 is walking along the desert.
Man #2 appears overhead in a hot air balloon.
Man #2 calls down to man #1 asking "Where am I?"
Man #1 calls up to man #2 replying "You are in a balloon, about 50 feet above the ground."
Man #2 calls down "You must be in IT, the answer you gave me is correct but of no use to me."
Man #1 calls up "You must be in Management. You ask a vague question, and blame others when the answer is not what you wanted."

How in the name of flying gibbon muck do you balance a k-d tree without extracting every entry into an array first and rebuilding it top down?
This is really getting to be an embuggerrement!

Just got a headache just thinking about it.

By transforming it into a linked-list first instead? And would it be "middle down"?

Did you mean: embuggerance? Can't find the word "embuggerrement" with Google. I found the word "bugger" but I'm sure that is not what you meant.

bugger -- n. Software that is used to add bugs to software. See IDE

For those of us who don't have the faintest clue what Vilmos' gin-perfused mutterings are about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-d_tree[^].
For what it's worth, I can't see a way of balancing a tree in-place. Any tree balancing algorithm I've ever seen traversed a source tree, dismantling it in the process, and created a balanced destination tree.

If your tree is implemented using pointers you may be able to do it by swapping references. That is, if you find a branch that is unbalanced you may mount the branch to another node to make the tree balanced. Same applies to nodes that are unbalanced, just swap them with each other until the tree becomes balanced.
