The poor lemmings have sucha poor reputation! They do build a very cool network of tunnels beneath the snow during winter, which is why they aren't seen, and people used to presume they'd thrown themselves of cliffs!
Global warming is now leading to less snow, and teh poor lemmings can't build their tunnels, leading to more of teh being eaten.

Thanks. ;)
It probably should be read as an indication of my own troubled childhood that I laughed at this post.
NOW how am I going to cheerlessly mock someone who follows a popular trend?
