Prickly Problem
What do you do when heavily armed terrorists infiltrate your facility and begin eating your garden hoses? Simple, you bait traps with potatoes and chocolate milk and round them up. No, really.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A new type of intruder has been needling authorities at Israel's top secret nuclear research center — one of the four-legged variety.
Israeli Parks Authority spokeswoman Osnat Eitan confirmed a newspaper report that park rangers had been sent to the facility at Dimona, believed by experts to be used to produce atomic weapons, to catch dozens of porcupines that have been chewing through saplings and garden hoses.
Using potatoes and chocolate milk as bait, the prickly animals were being trapped and moved elsewhere, Eitan said.
Israeli authorities will not acknowledge anything about the Dimona facility aside from allowing that the cafeteria serves a mean Reuben sandwich on Wednesdays. But the porcupine infiltration unit of the Animal Uprising™ is obviously up to no good. We suspect that if we see thirty foot tall porcupines in the near future that they managed to get in.

Hmm, I wonder if the quills on a 30-foot porcupine would be radioactive… Talk about arming the Animal Uprising!

You can add porcupine meatballs to the menu in the cafeteria.
