Be Careful!

This picture scared me. I looked at it right before I took a shower and was afraid of it the WHOLE TIME. Thanks, favorite website. :(

"Squirrels carry rabies"

That hardly seems fair. 8 reported cases in the last 57 years? I think "A squirrel's bite hurts like the dickens!" would be more honest.

In the interest of full disclosure, as a young boy I was bitten by a non-rabid squirrel. Just after they stopped giving rabies shots for squirrel bites. :-)

As tiny as it is, the chance of a squirrel carrying rabies is probably higher than the chance of a panther sneaking up behind you. Unless you live in panther country.

Those are awesome! I had to add the snapping turtle one to a recent post of mine about turtles.

Cars. Contaminated products. Household items. Pollution.

This is absolutely ridiculous- in a day and age where we're wiping out various species and continually destroying natural habitats at breakneck speed, you're more likely off dying from heart attack (one of the leading causes of death). I laugh at the one who stops midway when they've spotted a squirrel (definitely rabid!) while crossing a street and gets run over by a car. Pansy.

Those folks who are reacting as though this is serious ... uh, you did click the link, and see the sign warning us all against the brontosaurus, right? It has an extra brain in its butt, don'tcha know!

Indeed, we must Beware the Wily Brontosaurous.

Honestly, though, the monkey one is my favorite. There's just something about the expression on that monkey's face cojoined with the caption "Monkey See. Monkey kill" that cracks me up.
