You can hear the little buggers as they chew through your cables, "neep neep neep" the little furry swine go "neep neep neep" as they twitch their little noses at you and then flirt those ridiculous furry tails

bastardos, the lot of them

PBW down ????

The server going was worth it after looking at that ninja page and the weeeeee.

Dang! I have a feeling this is my fault! I told Geoschmo that I was gonna donate some money to him for the PBW site, using my wife's PayPal account. But being the slackard I am, I put it off. He ain't got squirrels or rats. It's gremlins! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif They jumped from my computer into his.

Don't believe me? Just ask Stripe. He got all pissed about being killed off in the PBW game "Junkyard Wars II". He is swearing vengeance, and I think he had a hand in it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Seriously, I have 2 computers at home, and 8 in my office. This week, I lost 2 hard drives, 2 mother Boards, and a CDROM drive for no darn reason! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif That repair bill is getting expensive! Now what do you think the problem is? Ain't no darn squirrels, their too busy gathering nuts for the cold winter here in the states. My problems stopped mid-morning, about the time I could no longer access the PBW site. I had took the covers off all my computer cases today and didn't find a single one. They were now on the prowl. When I got home, I fully expected to find the dog hanging outside and the cat in the washing machine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif But to my surprise, all was in order. Now I just read what happened on PBW. I know it's them, because he is in Ohio, and I'm in Indiana. That ain't to far for those critters to travel ina day.

I'm sorry, Geoschmo, hope you can forgive me. I'll throw in a little extra cash when you get the server back up. Honestly! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Guess I will use this time to reaquaint myself with my family. Maybe I will actually seriously make my own Gremlin shipset. Found some help at this site.

Hey, I was about to submit an Adamant 005 turn, i hope it didn't process, i guess its my fault for procrastinating damn!

In some countries, squirrels come into your house, desecrate your living room and eat crackers.

Death to the squirrel.

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ahhhh...but assume the squirrel eats 20 grams of peanuts (about 3/4 of an ounce)

By my calculations:

E=(1/50kg)(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 1 megaton nuclear bomb.

The squirrel should fear the peanut! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
