An American Airlines flight made an unscheduled landing in Honolulu after pilots heard something skittering about in the wire-laden space over the cockpit. The airline blamed the emergency landing of the Tokyo-Dallas flight with 202 passengers on a stowaway squirrel.
"You do not want a varmint up in the wiring areas and what-have-you on an airplane. You don't want anything up there," said John Hotard, spokesman for the Ft. Worth, Texas-based airline. He said pilots feared the animal would chewed through wiring or cause other problems.

The insidiousness of these rodents is growing by the minute. No longer content with ambushing cars and forcing them to swerve, they're now trying to take down airplanes. Homeland security had best get out of the p.c. bent and screw PETA; the battle is on.
After the incident, a video was sent out by an organization calling itself Al-Rodenta, with a message re-confirming the jihad against all humans. The leader is believed to be holed up in some tree in TX. This is the most recent photo of the head terrorist, Rocky-bin-Laden.
Special Forces units are still scouring TX trying to find this psychotic little despot.

Cleaning great big globs of greasy grimy gopher guts out of a dryer does not sound like fun.
It's always good to hear stories about humans actually outsmarting these insidious little rodents, especially when the media focuses so much on the negative aspects of this war.
