Here I am at work, quietly keying away at my computer.  The report I
am working on requires some statistics I don't have available at my
fingertips, so I "head to the web" to do a little research.
 
I find a great web page that links to US Gov't statistical agencies,
www.fedstats.gov.  Wow, this looks great!  There's a link called "data
access tools".  Sounds interesting, so I click it.  To my suprise, what
do I see as the primary listed link?
 
FERRET:  Federal Electronic Research, Review, & Extraction Tool
 
I gotta see this!  Click on the link!  I'm greeted with
 
                 Welcome to DataFERRETT!
 
The graphics at the top show a ferret with front paws on a stack of books
on the left; a ferret with front paws on a computer on the right.
 
We're all in trouble now, boys & girls.  This is hard evidence that the
FLO has infiltrated to the very top.  The weasels are now in charge of
managing U.S. statistical data.
 
Be afraid.  Be very afraid.
