reminds me of something we;ve seen before:

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're
overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese
needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous
type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around,
the gorillas simply freeze to death.; 3/24/06, 11:11 PM

Squirrels are merely rats with fluffy tails. Very destructive little beast, whatever color they are. If you've ever seen what they can do to an attic, you'd hate them.....; 3/25/06, 3:04 PM
