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.

This is the craziest thing I've ever heard. Is it real???

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

I found it- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWP1qQZuSoM Discovery Channel's LIFE
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.”

Umm, I'll just leave this here. (*Warning: graphic description of fecal matter)

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).
