Sometimes, dear readers, this august organ addresses the more pressing matters in life. At others a more laconical eyebrow is raised at the curios that surround us. This entry is just one of those.


It was with great delight that we recently saw a feature about the deception of squirrels. Apparently 1 in 5 of all 'nut burials' are actually faked. Indeed, when rumbled at their wicked wheeze they are actually then prone to increase their fakery. Holes are dug. Leaves carefully spread over the top. Yet not a nut is to be found. All in an attempt to hide the real stash.


So why were we so tickled you may ask ?

Because we've found someone comparable to our much loved John Malkovich. Finally the mantle of the 'guilty of plenty of acting' award can be passed to a more deserving hero.
