KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) -- A wayward squirrel invaded a power substation and left more than 5,000 homes and businesses without electricity.
Duke Energy restored the service from the South Main Street substation near Wildcat Creek after about an hour Sunday night.
"We lost the squirrel and 5,039 customers for the space of an hour," Duke spokesman Rob Norris said.
The outage included much of the city's central neighborhoods west of U.S. 31.
So here's the thing, squirrels have been tearing up the place it seems in the past week or so.
There's this story (and by the way, I'm very disturbed by the quote 'we lost the squirrel' - wtf happened to it?! They murdered the poor little bastard, didn't they?! Awww, poor boo boo bitch) and then there's the story of the squirrel who terrorized peeps in Florida. He bit and scratched his way into stardom...uh, infamy. And then he died. He was truly a bitch. But as you all know, squirrels are plague carriers. But since these squirrels were doing a service to the world by hatin' on Floridians and people from Indiana, then kudos to them! Har Har.
And now for a sad note...
The Planet Pluto is under scrutiny by scientists who are considering giving it the axe. They think that Pluto may not be a planet at all. 8 planets in the solar system? That's madness.
If Pluto makes the cut then something like 33 'planets' will make it as well and we'll have one happy solar system - full of dead rocks. Awesome.
What's the bottom-line though? ::tear:: Poor Pluto...
