I suppose I'm too old to have a chance at also being a 72-year-retiree. But I'm going to quit work tomorrow just in case.

That's how the birds started - one feisty pigeon...

The spokesman said experts thought the attack may have been linked to the mating season or because the squirrel was ill.

Well, that statement would make me feel better if I were bitten! How about you?

Who else in Europe goes around attacking people for no good reason?

I bet it was a Russian Spy. Or maybe a Russian Spambot that keeping trying to join LoT.

Ha ha. That German Squirrel is no match for my Boston Ninja Squirrel of Death. There's a thread about it here somewhere...

You'd be pretty angry too if people kept telling you they can't distinguish your love making from disease.

From the looks of that picture, I'd say the squirrel was from Rio Linda, California.

Poor squirrel!

Yeah, it's a shame the squirrel died that way, but I feel more sorry for the innocent people that the raging squirl attaked for no reason.
