i'm going to believe you're right about that because it makes me feel better.

You should hear some of their other sounds. There's one that's kind of a wheezing squawk -- took me years to figure out it was squirrels making the sound, but I finally spotted one while he was doing it. Their whole bodies swell up like they're trying to breath in a whole baloon and then they cut loose with this indescribable sound. It's just a bit creepy to see, actually.
Actually, here's a small collection of squirrel sounds, the one I'm describing is the first one on the list (over on the right).

sure they're planning to take over the world. any creature that makes that many different (weird) sounds has got to be up to something.
