One rainy sunday, PG was pondering the difference between squirrels and chipmunks. The two words seem to be interchangeable. Finally, a trip to google turned up a site, with the verbatim question.
“Chipmunks and ground squirrels are very closely related. Both chipmunks and ground squirrels differ from and are smaller than tree squirrels. The major external feature that distinguishes a chipmunk from a squirrel are the stripes on the face across the eyes. Squirrels may have stripes on their back but lack stripes on the face. The bone structure (bacula) of squirrels are different from chipmunks.”
The ads  underneath this answer were from animal removal services. This is not surprising. Squirrels are rats with pretty tails. They are EVERYWHERE. They get between the roof and ceiling and make noise. Sometimes, they die in there, and the stench of decomposing rodent lingers.
Chipmunks, on the other hand, sing a highly annoying Christmas song.
Which brings us to the second part of this sunday afternoon. Last night was the finals of the 2009 Eurovision. The winner was from Norway, although he was born in Belarus. He played fiddle (what do you call lip sync for a fiddle?) and has prominent eyebrows.
Eurovision is apparently a big deal east of the Atlantic. It never has caught on in America.
