Dude, when I was in high school and harbored a dream to someday become a science fiction writer I was into squirrels so much I actually wrote a short story about squirrels, from a single squirrels perspective, about how squirrels are all superintelligent and went out of their way to not let us know. It sounds cute but it was actually a really depressing story.
Squirrels actually ended the 6 day war. People really believe Israel just intimidated the whole middle east with a puny little nuke? Hell no... there were squirrels. In robotic suits. Shooting laser beams at turban-ados. Friggin serious **** man.
I remember back when I went to UH, there was this horror show frozen next to a curb by the engineering building : the front of a squirrel was reaching for the curb and the back was crushed flat. Apparently a car had run over the poor guy just before he got to the safety of the curb.
When I was in second grade, there was one time I was at recess out on the playground. There was a squirrel that got flattened by a golf cart in the middle and you could see the guts. For some reason, his skull was cracked in and you could see his brain, too. Lovely sight for us 7-year-olds. On a side note, the squirrels at UT are deadly. They'll bite your fingers off.
Actually now that I think about this it sounds exactly like the Nibblonians from Futurama. Its follows Plato's theory of the forms... As soon as somebody invents something that had never been thought of before... suddenly 10 other people from all different parts of the world invent similar things to what you invented without any knowledge of that thing. Once you unlocked that level of thinking, everyone just came over to your house because they could play the new level on your Nintendo instead of just beating it themselves.
at UH when I am walking from the UC towards Melcher I make a little clicking sound and the squirrels start to follow me... until I freak out and stop. One day they will get pissed and rip my face off!
I have seen a squirrel on the TAMU campus with an ear piercing, anklet, and mohawk. Clearly they tagged it but it was weird. And y'all thought all the students wore cowboy hats and overalls.
I never knew squirrels were so friendly! Last week walking from Valenti past the Satellite a squirrel came up to me with a big acorn and looked as if she wanted me to feed her. I was SO MAD I didn't have any food, because I didn't expect to see a squirrel come up to me. But after my last class today, about 30 minutes ago, I was walking along and saw another one come up to me and stare curiously. I threw a piece of a carrot down in front of her and she proceeded it chew it for a couple seconds and then spit it up...haha. I need to go buy some peanuts to keep in my purse. Cute pic, moestavern!
Yes, they stay radio tagged for a reason. If you ever see folks walking around campus with giant old school tv antennas, they're looking for the RFID's on the squirrels. I suggest all other campuses follow suit, and perhaps we'll be able to thwart the squirrel uprising.
I used to love feeding the squirrels at UH between classes. I think they started to recognize me because everytime I popped open a bag of goldfish they would mob me. Cute little rats.
