i saw an even better hamster headline here in australia:
HELD TO RANSOM BY INVISIBLE HAMSTERS
the story was about the building of a large hotel in a wooded area
of germany. since the site was the habitat of rare golden hamsters,
the developers were obliged to do an environmental study before
they could start construction. after a year, they hadn't found any
golden hamsters at all so they declared that the hamsters had died
out locally and concluded they could start work. however,
environmentalists said that the golden hamsters were now SO rare in
that area that no-one should be allowed to build a hotel there at
all... so you can indeed say that the developers were held to
ransom by invisible hamsters.
