Leave It To A Muskrat

I think I just read the most hilarious news story ever. Ok, really it's sad--not so much funny. No wait-----it's FUNNY. :)
The title of the story is "Burrowing muskrat causes levee to fail in Missouri."
Here's an excerpt:
The furry rodent dug a hole through the earthen levee in this eastern Missouri community, allowing water to penetrate the floodwall, which failed shortly before dawn.
"It's so disappointing," said Linda Wilmesherr as she peered through binoculars at water pouring through a gap that appeared to be 30 feet wide. "With all the guns in this county, couldn't we kill a muskrat?"

I'll just post the link so you can read the whole story. After all, how does an animal weighing only 5lbs outsmart the Army Corps of Engineers' dam safety expert?!?
