This is really sad:
BEMIDJI, Minn. — A woman is dead and a man hospitalized after a squirrel became lodged in a pipe between the furnace and the chimney, causing propane fumes to enter a rural Bemidji home.Of all the people who should die with a rodent stuck up their pipe...it wasn't this woman.
No word, by the way, on the condition of the squirrel.

Or maybe not.
Posted by: aelfheld at January 20, 2006 09:11 AMThat happened in my old house in St. Paul. The squirrel got stuck in the vent for the waterheater...long story. Every time I used hot water there was this awful odor. When we found him...I assume he first got carbon monoxide poisoning and the horrible smell was baked squirrel. It wasn't pretty!
