    I’ve known many eastern Europeans with names that have 20 consonants in search of a vowel….❤

    In addition to Iran capturing those squirrels, Egypt detained a stork in 2013 and the Saudis arrested a vulture in 2011.

    The townsfolk of Hartlepool, during the Napoleonic Wars of the early 19th century, hanged a shipwrecked monkey, believing him to be a French spy!

    I had to look up the squirrel story and found several about different animals. From storks to cats to sharks. Very entertaining reading. Dumb, but entertaining.

    They don’t have successful squirrel spies in America; the FBI is always on to them. They’re the ones who can cross the road and survive.

    Another lie. We know they have been kidnapping our human citizens. Now we know they are kidnapping our squirrel citizens. Who is helping them?

    Skyler White (Walter’s wife) showed him a skid of cash from the meth cooking businee in a self-storage warehouse. It occupied much of the space in the unit, & she told him she literally had no idea how much money that was.

    I know two interesting family names. One is by mistake doesn’t have any vowels: Smrcz. It was supposed to be Smercz but at the registration of this gentleman’s name, they made a typo, and the family found it interesting, so the family name changed to this. The other one is Kschwendt, which has 1:8 vowel – consonant ratio. I think the first one has Slavic origin, the second one has German origin.
