[QUOTE="Jack Arnott, post: 72133, member: 304"] Re: I'm glad it's not the moose... Now I have to tell my sisters squirrel story. This sister lives in St. Paul MN, the other lives in Minneapolis. It is a well known fact that when you catch a squirrel in the Twin Cities, you drive it to the other side of the river to release it. This person she knows was telling of catching a squirrel, and was in the process of driving it to the Minneapolis side. While on the bridge he suddenly wondered what would happen if the squirrel was released in the middle of the bridge. Which side would the squirrel choose? No one was behind him, so he pulled over and let the squirrel loose. Instead of choosing either direction, it headed straight for the side, jumped up on the railing, and over the edge. He ran to the edge, and watched it hit the snow, tuck and roll, and take off running. He was marveling at how it didn't die in the fall, but this didn't last long. A hawk swooped down and picked it up as it ran through the snow. So a few weeks later he caught another squirrel. Not satisfied with the results of the last release, he tried again. And the same thing happened. As he was watching it unfold, a car came to a halt behind him. And a guy jumped out the ask him what he was doing. He asked, "did you just release a squirrel to see which side it would run to?" "Yes" "And instead of choosing, it jumped off the edge." "And when it hit the ground and took off running, a hawk swooped down and picked it up." "That's exactly what happened when I tried it!" [/QUOTE]
