Today’s weird and wonderful headline: “Squirrels Caught Stashing Over 200 Pounds of Nuts in Car Engine.” Yes,  you heard it right. In a small town somewhere, a group of industrious squirrels decided to turn a parked car into their personal nut vault, proving once again that nature has a fantastic sense of humor. I saw this at my own alma mater decades ago  .

Imagine the scene: a bewildered car owner popping the hood, expecting to see an engine, only to find a mountain of acorns staring back. It’s like opening your fridge to find it stocked with nothing but mustard—unexpected, confusing, and utterly hilarious.

These squirrels, clearly inspired by some Ocean’s Eleven heist movie, managed to amass a staggering 200 pounds of nuts in the engine compartment. How? Nobody knows. Perhaps they held secret midnight meetings, strategizing the best nut-stashing techniques. Or maybe they just worked tirelessly in shifts, showing a level of dedication most of us can only dream of.

While the car owner might not appreciate the squirrels’ ingenuity, you have to admire their determination. I mean, if you think about it, these squirrels might just be the ultimate preppers, ready for a nut-pocalypse.

This nutty news is a delightful reminder that while the world can be heavy and overwhelming, there’s always room for a bit of levity. Whether it’s squirrels with a penchant for storage or cats that take over internet fame, these moments of randomness bring a smile to our faces and a chuckle to our hearts.

So next time you’re feeling bogged down by the weight of serious news, just remember: somewhere out there, a band of squirrels is plotting their next great heist, one acorn at a time. And if that doesn’t bring a smile to your face, I don’t know what will.
