There's a litter of white-tailed squirrels
in a tree in the churchyard. They're cute as buttons, and just young enough to be playing in the yard and the trees. Three of 'em. This should be an interesting lesson in natural selection. Will their tails be a liability, helping predators to find 'em? Or is there some advantage to white tails, such that the whole neighborhood will be full of white-tailed squirrels in a few generations?

I think I'll ask some of my fundie colleagues, just to watch their heads explode :nuke:
