http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkie ... volleyballOlympic beach volleyball players have come across an unexpected handicap - squirrels burying their nuts on their courts.
The rodents have been burying beechnuts and acorns on six sandy practice courts at London's St James's Park.
And bikini-clad players have been left grimacing as they land barefoot on the squirrel snacks.
Groundsmen now have to rake the sand before practice sessions, reports The Sun.

Squirrels, Bikinis, Nuts, Olympics
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I read this morning that one of the American female gymnasts, Gabby Douglas, has been nicknamed "the flying squirrel" because of her performances on the uneven bars.

Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used.
