BEIJING (Reuters) - The world's largest restaurant chain, McDonald's Corp., has been ordered to pay a student some 2,200 yuan ($290) after a rat bit her at one of its outlets in northeastern China, media reported on Sunday.

A local court in Shenyang city in Liaoning province ordered the payment -- covering costs that included $130 for psychological injury -- for the incident last year, the China Merchant Morning Post said. In the states $130 would have covered a shrink for an hour. In my experience it takes at least 300 hrs of extensive counseling for this type of psychological terror- the ghost of the late Johnnie C.

The woman, whose name was not disclosed, said a rat had climbed up her leg and bit her on the thigh while she was eating a meal at the restaurant. The woman had sought 20,000 yuan (about $2,600) in compensation. She said the incident caused her to become frightened by white mice and rabbits. Ok she gets the $130 deducted for this lame statement, in fact she owes Mickey D's a couple of Hamiltons- Judge Judie

McDonald's rejected other demands raised by the student, including follow-up medical charges and other fees, saying she lacked proof. Bullies! That's it! Give her back at least a fifty for being meanies- J. Buttafucco.

The court ruled that McDonald's was responsible for maintaining proper hygiene at its restaurants, in line with relevant hygiene standards of China, and should compensate the woman for failing to protect customer safety. Aka- keep all rodents behind the pay counter from now in an Empire local, or pay the really, really steep fine of $290 US dollars -that'll show 'em. Who was the lame attorney representing this poor kid. We need our resident legal analyst to chime in on this one, J.I.
