BEWARE OF TUFTY!! Angry squirrel injures 3 people The aggressive rampage of a squirrel in southern Germany finally came to an end on Tuesday after a 72-year-old pensioner killed the creature with his crutch. The squirrel however injured three people during the mayhem. AP reports that the rodent bit its first victim when it jumped through a living-room window in Passau, on the Austrian border, on Tuesday. The woman shook off the squirrel by running in the street while it was still hanging on by its teeth to her. (the first time I read this I thought the squirell was killed by a pensioners crotch and was helpless with laughter for about 10 minutes, I must learn to read properly) kimbers on "How do I stop squirrels affecting my brakes?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-stop-squirrels-affecting-my-brakes#post-494287 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:03:29 +0000 kimbers 494287@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ you sure that aint the missing hampster?
