Things I've Done You Maybe Haven't

(this one has been fun both to read and try to invent, which is rare for memes)

I have:

1. knitted a cobweb lace tablecloth
2. debugged the LaTeX error message "gobble gobble gobble"
3. bought a wedding dress over the web, without seeing or trying on.
4. forged a Key to Hell (two, actually)
5. been an officer of a student activity for twice as long as I was a student.
6. asked a police officer to show me a *second* form of identification because the first wasn't good enough.
7. played the cello solo in a performance, without a cello
8. invented a word now in the Urban Dictionary (well, okay, anyone can put words there, but I didn't put mine in).
9. accidentally set the carpet on fire
10. been hospitalized with a Mysterious and Unidentifiable Disease for two weeks. (identified after that point)

Rat bite fever

OK, I have to ask, how did you get it?
The article claims you get it from handling or getting bit by rats.
And seeing as you got it when you were little, I didn't think you were working with the rats in a laboratory.

I had pet rats. (They're actually really nice - friendly and smart and affectionate. Later, I had hamsters, which are softer to pet but dumb as rocks and harder to convince to be friendly). I'm pretty sure I was never bitten.
