Frozen squirrels are dangerous

Yes, that title is obvious. Frozen anything is usually very solid, and if used in a menacing way can do considerable dammage.

According to this Snopes article
http://www.snopes.com/critters/gnus/squirrel.asp,
frozen squirrels have been quite a source of mayhem in the past.

They've been used as decoys to be thrown at barking dogs while criminals steal hubcaps off parked cars. They've become weapons in domestic abuse cases, where they were used to knock someone unconcious. The little buggers have even passed away during the winter in trees, fallen down, and destroyed car windshields.

Who knew the little buggers could have such adventurous lives post-mortem?
