"Sucidal Squirrels"
Half my town's power went out the other day because of a "suicidal squirrel". It climbed on top of a transformer & got "toasted". Happens so often that they're putting in "anti-squirrel devices". Don't ask me how they work. I just know it's meant to discourage those little rascals from climbing up there.

Would have been handy at my last house. Roughly once every two years when I was living there, we'd lose power because a squirrel ran up one specific utility pole (ALWAYS that same one!), get too close to the big humming cylinder, and *POP* goes the weasel. Best case scenario: No power for the block for 5 hours, and an unfortunate electric company dude who has to clean off the radial-pattern of soot (on the upside, soot was all that was left...)"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

In a morbid sense it would be fascinating to watch it in slow-mo just to see how a living thing can be turned to soot.
