squirrels are dicks

i told you so. you know who you are.

a new scientific study has revealed that squirrels and damn sneaky. dr. michael steele, a reasearcher at pennsylvainia's wilkes university, and several colleagues performed a study on grey squirrel behaviour. they placed acorns near squirrels and watched what the animals did with them. as expected, the rodents dug holes and hid the food in one of several secret stashes. but it turned out that 20% of their secret hiding places were total fakes, kind of like the mx missile program during the reagan years. the surprising part was that the squirrels didn't just randomly make these phony stashes; they were far more likely to employ a ruse when they knew another squirrel was watching them. there you have it--the evidence just keeps piling up. squirrels are good for nothing, sneaky liars because they know that all the other squirrels are dirty, rotten thieves ready at any moment to steal their sweet, sweet nuts.
