Squirrel Intifada at Stanford
from the cute,-furry…-and-deadly dept.
From Yahoo News comes the story of suicidal squirrels that have taken to leaping out into the path of oncoming cyclists at Stanford University. Students are reportedly suffering mental trauma over the attacks, causing some to question the morality of their own presence on the 8,180-acre campus. “The squirrels were here first, I know, but I need an education, don’t I?” sobbed Katie Founds, distraught after nearly biking over the body of a dead squirrel. Meanwhile, the school’s administration says it will not be intimidated by the rodent onslaught. “We will never give in to terror,” vowed University President John Hennessy.
