Here's a clue...





As you can tell from the picture, me and my skinny legs are fascinated by this camera.

And the price...2 bucks!...the same as two McDonalds Double Cheeseburgers available at any of your participating Chicagoland McDonalds cheeseburger dealers.

And this camera comes equipped with a fixed focus...imagine that! My focus hasn't been fixed for decades...in fact the last time I can remember was in fourth grade in April...that's when National Geographic released that really, really revealing issue. By mid month that copy was so dogeared and it was missing several pages...really good pages!

And here's something that's just almost too hard to believe...as far as I can tell, this camera wasn't made in China!

Iran's spying squirrels? Posted: Friday, July 20, 2007 3:07 PM

You can tell that Iran is feeling a little beleaguered these days when there are reports that Tehran may be under attack from rodents!

That is what the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported this week, that police had, ahem, "arrested" 14 squirrels on charges of espionage.

The rodents were found near the Iranian border, allegedly equipped with eavesdropping devices, according to IRNA.

When asked to confirm the story, Esmaeel Ahmadi Moghadam, the national police chief, said, "I have heard about it, but I do not have precise information." He declined to give any more details.

IRNA said that the squirrels were discovered by intelligence services – but were captured by police officers several weeks ago.

'Are you serious?'
The reaction to the report on Tehran’s streets was varied – from disbelief to assigning guilt for the alleged infraction.

"No, I had not heard about this, but it does not surprise me, foreign countries are always meddling in Iran," said Hassan Mohmmadi, a fast-food vendor.

Mohammadi asked me if I knew where the squirrels were from, and I told him that I didn’t know. Then he came to his own conclusions. "I bet they were British squirrels, they are the most cunning," he replied.

Meantime, an independent journalist, Sepher Sopli, was not surprised by the idea that another country would spy on Iran, so much as he was dumbfounded by their methods.

"I read this story in the papers and though it was very bizarre; what struck me as odd was that in this age of modern technology, people were relying on squirrels to do their spying," Sopli said.

But, the report was still strange enough to surprise. "That's very funny, but you’re not serious are you?" said Soraya Jafari, a student in Tehran.



I knew those little buggers were training for something.
EH
I have to nominate the dominatrix squirrel in the itsy bitsy teeny weeny polka dot bikini as absolutely the funniest and best you have posted, Woody. My dogs are sitting here staring at me because I was laughing so hard ... oh my that is tooooo funny. (And I think it confirms my vote that you do indeed get your graphics from the Democratic National Headquarters ... )
