We have a squirrel who's been visiting our office daily since January. She sits on my desk, (or terminal, or lap) and feeds on cashews and almonds. Easter-time I expermented giving her a tiny chocolate Easter egg. Within 1 minute she became paralyzed, her eyes glazed, and she slid off the desk. I tried nudging her towards the window, but it took a cashew to revive her. She bit me that time, too (luckily not puncturing the skin). - Oran Bodner [mhtsa mh3bs mh3bs3]!ojb
