Happily, the federal government operates on the principle that the only good squirrel is a squirrel that's been run through a blender: Http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/10/30/2007-10-30_squirrels_safe_to_eat_again_in_new_jerse-1.html Of course, if the squirrel had been processed by stainless steel spokes, no lead contamination would have occurred.

oh yeah. we moved to Parsippany, NJ in 1957. Parsippany had more cows than people. no cows now. before the bridge went in and tunnels, NJ was sand, pine trees, tomato farms and resorts even. Bell's financier lived up the street, ran the countries first industrial complex. Like Atlanta.

Hmmm.... I'm no metallurgist, but, uh, I don't see lead tines making quick work of ice cubes for long. Nor am I a hunter, so I'll have to ask. Are squirrels typically hunted with something akin to birdshot? Is that shot not made of lead?

See, all those jokes about NJ are unfair! It's a really nice state for squirrel eating, the toxic waste didn't affect them at all. I don't know why people poke so much fun at this state. (Is this where we make more NJ jokes... or where the mutant 15 foot tall squirrels show up and seek revenge for their species?)

If I had a bike like this: http://www.bikeblender.com/bikeblenders.html I could serve up delicious shakes every time I encounter a suicidal squirrel. P.S. Please don't tell my animal-rights friends I participated in this discussion.
