Man v. Animal

Last Sunday, shit went down at Clemson.

The official story goes as follows, “campus wide power outage occurred shortly after 10 a.m. when a squirrel crossed power lines at the main campus substation.”

But Clemson conspiracy nuts are saying that this is more than just a coincidence. Guerrilla squirrels are taking revenge on the university for trying to reduce their on-campus presence. Clemson grad students have been testing contraceptives on campus squirrels as of late, but Sunday’s power outage proves, Clemson’s indigenous critters aren’t ready to cede their precious territory.

Not only did the squirrels win the battle (power went out for seven hours!), but at this rate my money is on the over-sized rodent to win the war.
