Yep! I'm just cool like that. Adult squirrels are immune to rattlesnake venom, so they can hold their own in a snake fight. Baby squirrels aren't immune to the venom, so mother squirrels go searching for shed snake skins so they can gnaw bits off of the rattle, and glue it in their tail with their spit- so when a snake comes by, the squirrel rattles its tail and the snake is completely fooled!
Edit: it's California ground squirrels I'm talking about.

Yeah, it's real. I saw it on some documentary on tv.. I'll see if I can find it.
I found it-

So, I was mistaken about the squirrel rattling her tail- she just shakes it.

Pack a paper map (yes, they still exist) and “don't turn off your internal navigation system when you turn on your gadget,” said NBC News.com technology reporter Bob Sullivan. If a GPS sends you the wrong way, “your sense of direction could be the difference between driving 5 or 50 miles out of your way.”

As a former janitor, I've dealt with bathroom vandalism - it wasn't fun, but I cleaned it up and moved on (that's what rubber gloves and mops are for).
