Israel has deployed an elite strike force of forest rangers after discovering that its most toppest-secretest nuclear research facility (which may or may not produce plutonium for bombs) is under attack -- by porcupines:"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.
The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper quoted the site's gardener, David Golan, as saying a porcupine population explosion posed a security threat."
Potatoes and chocolate milk! If they were "new" June potatoes roasted in butter and garlic, I'd cave in about 3 seconds.
