The Millennium Falcon Appeared in Blade Runner
Production of Blade Runner was often done in a rush, so visual effects directors sometimes had to make do with pre-existing props. Paul M. Sammon writes in Future Noir:
Amusingly, another very distinctive spacecraft also found its way into this part of the cityscape. "Bill George had been making a replica of the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo's ship from the Star Wars movies, for his own amusement," Stetson explained. "It was about five feet tall. At the time we were so frantic to get more buildings into the cityscape that we grabbed Bill's ship, bristled it with etched brass, and plopped it into different shots. Instant building.
The Millennium Falcon model has been outlined in the above image. You can see other, more hazy images of her at the link.

Anyhow squirrels were the bane of her existence, because they will take two bites of a plum, and throw it on the ground, then grab another plum, and so on until they get tired of wasting fruit.
Squirrels are rats with furry tails. Sure, they are cute, but the net effect is about the same as crows, locusts, or weevils. At least someone has found an (arguably) amusing use for these pests.
"your stupid and live in a cave."
Really now?
But seriously, I think it's funny. I'm not a fan of stuffing dead animals, but to each their own.
I lol'd.
I deleted a comment because it used personal insults. I don't allow that in my comment threads.
The most common complaint that I deal with regarding squirrels is that they have invaded an attic or crawlspace. They will often chew a hole to get inside. Mother squirrels bear young twice a year, and they love to use an attic as a nest. Once inside the home, they chew, causing damage to wood, electrical lines, which can create a fire hazard. We always recommend humane trapping and relocation. One way exit traps rarely work for squirrel removal because they can simply chew right back inside.
