In this alarming report for the lower east side of NYC there are reports of squirrels sabotaging transportation in a clear attempt to cripple vital means of transportation! “Squirrels have been eating up the wires in the cars,” complains Arfe. http://www.grandstreetnews.com/scripts/grand/paper/Article.asp?ArticleID=276 Wow! Grabbed a hotdog out of someone's hand. A piece of wood on the fascia (I think that's what it's called) - it the overhang on the roof of my garage -- well, one corner got loose. Now we have squirrel nests in the garage. |

Now from a link on Dave Barry's site news that these godless devils are engaging in suicide arson.
They are going after our children!! JONES, Okla. -- A squirrel caught fire, sparking a blaze Wednesday morning that resulted in the evacuation of an elementary school in Jones, fire officials said. Investigators said the squirrel touched two power lines at the same time and fell to the ground near Britton and Hiawassee roads. That fire burned 5 acres in the Jones area, forcing the evacuation of the elementary school. Those students were taken to Jones High School. School officials said the students would be kept at the high school for the rest of the day. Parents will be able to pick them up at the normal time, although some parents have already come to the school to pick up kids. Several trailers burned in the fire. However, no people were injured. Stay tuned to KOCO.com for any further details. |

Andy, Please make the photos smaller!! I wish I could figure out how!!!!!! You can't unless you can download them, shrink them, and then save them out to the web... which, incidently is what I do.... I have a flickr account to which I post any pics I need to edit or create... like the yellowcake one. Other than that I make a point of 'right-click' view picture to see how big it really is before I link to it. Many of the pics on web pages are sized down with the HTML code. |

Love that yellow cake evidence tngxl65!
thanks for taking the time to make it avalaible to all. That said, news that the squirrels are working on even more fronts! Squirrels! A protected class??? When will real Americans act to end this threat and insult to our way of life??? Check out this news...squirrel protections?? Be careful around squirrels? Minnesota has it’s share of odd laws By KEVIN BEHR | Winona Daily News . WINONA, Minn. — Minnesota law requires all bathtubs have feet. It is also illegal to sleep naked, tease a skunk or cross state lines with a duck on your head. They may sound absurd, but these are actual laws on the books in Minnesota. Well, mostly. Strange laws like these are widely circulated around the Internet, said Michelle Timmons, state revisor of statutes, and each must be taken with a grain of salt. Especially the duck one. “We researched and researched on that one,” Timmons said. “That must be an odd interpretation of (a law) on the books.” Some antiquated laws claimed to have been found by people simply don’t exist, she said. Others are legitimate, including these from the Winona city code: - Any cottonwood tree which “sheds its seeds profusely” is a public nuisance. - It is illegal to trap, kill or molest squirrels in any way. - No one shall allow the mating of cattle or horses within the city except in a properly enclosed building and out of the public view. Most of the wackier laws aren’t enforced, of course. In fact, Timmons’ office is responsible for eradicating antiquated laws. The revisor’s office has the power to edit some laws out of existence that require minimal revision, but if a law needs to be repealed, it requires legislative approval, Timmons said. Every year a Revisor’s Bill of miscellaneous statute fixes is submitted to legislators in an omnibus bill. Sometimes legislators try to repeal the laws. In 2003, Rep. Marty Seifert, R-Marshall, tried to eliminate a 1913 law requiring canvas manufacturers label the weights of their products, which were used as awnings, wagon covers and tents, according to the Feb. 7, 2003, edition of the House’s “Session Weekly” publication. The law was designed to protect consumers from dishonest salesmen. “We have tried to find anyone opposed to (repealing) it and couldn’t,” Seifert was quoted as saying in “Session Weekly.” The House of Representatives voted 124-0 to expunge the law 11 days later. Most antiquated laws had a purpose at one time, Timmons said, but changing societal standards and technology make some laws obsolete. “Something important in 1858 and very commonplace just seems funny now,” she said. . |

All five country churches in a small Texas town were having a terrible problem with squirrel infestations. Predictably, they all had different ways of dealing with the problem.
# The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do. After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will. # In the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week. # The Methodist church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back. # The Catholic church came up with what they thought was the best and most effective solution: they baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter. # Still, the Jewish synagogue beat them all: they took one squirrel and had a short service with him called a bris -- and they haven't seen a squirrel on the property since. |
