Patrick: 10-4 / point taken. I'm over it now :D As for the carbon fork breaking on impact with the rodent's body, I'm less surprised at that than I have been on hearing other stories of carbon forks breaking (i.e. riding over a small branch in the road @8mph, etc.).
You gotta figure, if bikeguy was going ~20mph, the squirrel was going almost 40mph when it hit the back of the blades. If you've ever gotten hit by a mayfly in the face or on the arms at 40mph, you know what a wallop even a very small, fragile mass can pack at high speed.
