HELP! What is this mutant rodent?!!

It's either a baby squirrel or chipmunk. I did find some of its hair floating in the pool when I cleaned it last night. No drain in the bottom of the pool, but it could have gotten caught in the skimmer, however, I found it at the other end of the pool nowhere near the skimmer. The skimmer hadn't been on during the day. Must have been in the skimmer from the night before and floated out later. Poor thing.  (Jun 13, 2008 | post #68)

Man lives with dead body for years

The story is from Associated Press wire on Friday. It's not fake. The photo, however, is a stock photo and the story says it's stock, meaning file art and not the actual picture of the corpse.  (Feb 9, 2008 | post #16)
