  • Entry 224: Russian Squirrels

    A friend brought Russian candy to the office, and on the wrapping paper were silhouettes of squirrels. (Top left green and gold candy)

     

    I commented that those pictures make the squirrel ears look like slug antennae. Soon afterward a coworker did some research and sure enough... Russian squirrels have freakishly weird ears:

    So at first glance they look a lot like Wolverine, no?

    Then the same coworker mentioned that they were "soooo cute" and looked like anime characters. I was like, really? Then I thought about it... They do look like something... can't quite put my finger on it...

    Ahah! Hardsuits from Bubble Gum Crisis!
