Its only a matter of time before it happens

Okay. A rabid normal-sized squirrel is bad enough, but a GIANT rabid squirrel?

I think this might make a good badmovies.org movie that we were talking about last year.

I say we nuke it

That would only make it bigger.

A giant poisoned acorn!

A transforming robot acorn as a trap.   Looks like an acorn, then turns into a giant robotic stoat.

I have a decent vocabulary AND am fairly worldly, but I will admit I had to look up "stoat."

[Ed, Ego and Superego]

In the part of Virginia my dad is from it means "to put on weight".

"You done got stoat"

Interesting. I always find those little regional bits of vernacular fun. Funny it would refer to putting on weight, though. Sloats are downright svelte.

One woman is being treated for exposure to rabies, but Vermont Public Health Veterinarian Robert Johnson says there's never been a case of a squirrel passing rabies to a human.

Theres a small pocket in Eastern Virginia that talks almost Canadian... you go oat of the hoase.  No one knows why.

I've done battle with squirrels and they're merciless. They've got black eyes, like dolls eyes. You don't know what goes on behind those soulless eyes. If you do find out, you're already dead.


Also hope Tromaville Institute of Technology has prepared an evacuation program if this happens again.
