Russian Squirrel pack "kills dog"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4489792.stm


Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in a Russian park, local media report.

Passers-by were too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute.

They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh.

1. That is hard to believe considering my dog
has brought in 2 dead squirrels this month. I guess those black squirrels are tough cookies!

5. OK, this is the funniest thing I've seen in months!
I must really be losing it.

Even that menacing picture of the squirrel made me hysterical.

Remind me to put out some pinecones for the gray squirrels around here. Yikes!

6. Squirrels of ex-Warsaw Pact nations are both stronger and better armed

than their Western counterparts. They went through the same kind of grueling selection process, indoctrination, and supplement programs as did eastern European weightlifting teams. In effect, a genetically-engineered superrace of squirrels is on the loose in the former Soviet Republics. It's a menace that we can ignore no longer.

We need to somehow infiltrate, perhaps recruit the likes of Chip and Dale, or even Alvin, to penetrate their ranks and report to us on their organization and disposition. The facts we know are few.

We know that they possess formidable defensive and offensive capabilities.



They train exhaustively in unarmed combat, too



Political indoctrination is every bit as important a component in their training as are combat skills



Their navy is small but increasngly effective



They also have élite airborne corps



Sometimes these special-ops types call in artillery support from rear areas



Women are an integral part of their military, at all levels



Their treatment of POWs, on the rare occasion they take them, is deplorable



Their one key weaknes may be their very leader. Like all halfway-successful autocrats, he has a predeliction for dressing up in ill-fitting flight suits and playing dress-up soldier for photo-ops. We may be able to exploit his vanity...
