New Acorn Flavored Windows Are a Hit With Squirrels
Market research firm NPD Group reports that recently developed acorn flavored glass products are a favorite among the desirable urban squirrel demographic. "We’re finding that squirrels prefer the taste of the acorn glass 2-to-1 over non-flavored glass,“ said analyst Sylvester O’Rourke.

Hamster Runs Up $5,000 Long Distance Bill
According to sources, a sneaky little hamster in Shreveport, LA has run up a $5,000 long distance phone bill on a phone he didn’t own.
“It’s mostly calls to the Czech Republic and Botswana,” said a source close to the situation. "He has relatives in Botswana, but I have no idea why he was calling Eastern Europe.“
The hamster has agreed to pay down the bill by working the charges off slowly doing chores. Because hamster earning potential is so low, working off his debt will likely take him the next 4-5 years.

Hamster Demands Butter and Salt for Corn
An Indonesian hamster named Wiko has staged a non-violent protest that’s quickly garnered worldwide support. The #OccupyCorn movement expresses outrage that Wiko be served plain old corn, without any of the fixins that make it so delicious – chief among them, butter and salt.
“Maybe the fat cats on Wall Street can afford butter and salt, but where does that leave Wiko?” asked a protester at a rally in Jakarta.
Sources close to the situation say that Wiko refuses to eat the corn until his demands are met.
