Talking When squirrels attack, bring on the hot sauce.
http://9news.com/storyfull.asp?id=10878

This winter, the newest trend in landscape design is coating trees in a hot Tabasco pepper spray.

Fox squirrels hate that.

They have been ravaging trees all over the Front Range to find food and water.

"They're trying to eke out a living," said Chris Roe, a wildlife biologist with Wildlife Property Management.

If the trees in Denver and surrounding areas are any indication, the squirrels are staying alive. Among their favorite targets are elm, Russian olive and silver maple trees, said Jon Elliott, arborist for the city of Denver.

The squirrels are chewing through the initial layer of bark on the tree to get to the green cambium layer, where trees store their nutrients.

Stripping of the bark "severs the water and nutrient tubes that go to the branches," Elliot said. "It leaves deadwood in the tree."

Is it just me or are squirrels getting braver? Sometimes I'll feel like I'm in a staredown with one of them, and then I'll have to cross the street to get away. Someone at my school recently got attacked by one. Squirrels are evil.

What form of utter lunacy would make anyone want to eat squirrel brains?

I mean, can you prove the BSE link? I don't see vast groups of scientists feeding monkeys squirrel brains, possibly because NO-ONE EATS THEM ANYWAY.

Not even a troll could resist me

Was a story in the newspaper a while ago about a woman who kicked a squirrel. Her neighbour saw it and called the police (grand well done btw), the kicker got charged with animal cruelty and got a hella fine out of it.
