Somehow, we don't think it's decaf
Steve Barnes posted a photo of a squirrel balancing a Dunkin' Donuts cup while climbing up a tree on Table Hopping. He received the image from a Dunkin Donuts franchisee in Albany.
Kristi asked her readers to come up with captions for the shot. Our favorite so far? "Thank God she didn't want the Box O' Joe." As commenters on Steve's and Kristi's blogs are pointing out, the squirrel appears to be a hoax. Our enthusiasm for caffeinated squirrel art blinded us to the (admittedly visible) wires. Sorry, folks, we'll scrutinize all urban wildlife pics more closely from now on. Thanks @Summer for bringing it to our attention.

That's actually a dead squirrel that someone wired to a tree. Gross.

I admit, if it was real it would be the best picture ever. But dead things are oogey.
