Honestly, I don't know!
It was a story I heard "from a friend of a friend" if you know
what I mean. It's a good story though.
I read on comp.risks about a squirrel that brought down half of UUNet
a few years ago - it decided to end it's life by arcing itself out
on some buss bars or something. Similar stories about rats and birds
chewing up cables or nesting in hardware too.......
Of course we all remember the animal a few years ago that took to the
Ultimo exchange here in Sydney with a fire axe, don't we?
