"Is no rat. Is hamster." is a quote from a famous British TV show called "Fawlty Towers", starring John Cleese (from Monty Python) as the owner of a ghastly seaside hotel. His waiter was Manuel, a Spaniard from Barcelona, who was amazingly stupid and who, in the episode in question, was sold a rat by an unscrupulous pet-shop owner who told him that it was a Siberian hamster - much to the horror of the owner who didn't want a rat in his hotel!
