I saw an odd thing today.  At first, it looked like a squirrel with a tail coming out of its face.  Then I saw that iy was actually a squirrel (I'll call it Rene) carrying another squirrel(I named that one Jean-Baptiste) in its mouth!  (Note: I don't know why the squirrels are named in French- it just seemed right)  I found this odd, as did the other gawkers standing in the MSUM mall watching this odd occurance.  I have never seen this before.  I've seen wolves and cats and such carried by their necks when they are young, but this was not a baby squirrel!  Jean-Baptiste was about 3/4 the size of Rene.  I watched them for several minutes.  Was this a mating ritual?  A rodent wrestling match?  Cannibalism at its finest?  I began to think of how little we know of the animal world.
In my Police Stress class, we were told that humans are the only animals to ty and discover a purpose for our lives on Terra.  How do we know this?  Did we do a poll of animal races and come to this conclusion?  I doubt it.  I think many animals, especially Elephants and Dolphins have thoughts about existance, and questions thereof as well.  Why else do elephants all go to a certain place to die.  They have burial grounds.  No other animal I know of has these.  Except humans.
On a side note, the whole thought of how little we know about animals gave me two sides of an argument in support of homosexuality.  Some say it appears only in humans.  "Animals aren't gay!" they say.  While this is not entirely true, I still think it is funny that humans are the only creatures to worship gods, build "Millenium World Splitters," and fight over things like money.  Does that make these things wrong as well?  Maybe.  The other side of the argument is that we don't if animals are homosexual or not.  As I watched Rene and Jean-Baptiste in their odd position, I realized that i didn't know if they were male or female.  Thusly, I have come to the comclusion that today I, along with several of my fellow Mavericks, saw two gay squirrels performing foreplay in the middle of the mall.  Spurious conlusion?  Probably.  But I've seen wierder things happen.  Like George W. Bush having a chance at being President.
I'm Ken Feucht, and I need to talk to the animals.
