The History of
Hamster Caching:
In
May of 2000, the United
States government officially removed “selective availability” to
the Global Positioning System satellites. This meant that civilian
GPS units now possessed greater accuracy than they previously were
allowed to have. Shortly after that, the American Hamster Council
(AHC) announced an overstock of hamsters and the rampant problem of
hamster-homelessness.
But no one knew that the
Hamster were observing us, and learning. It started out with
cute little tricks, then it moved to competitive sports.
We (humans) thought it was 'cute'
to watch, and 'Hamster-Ball' evenings became popular among
college students (prior to Poker being featured on TV). A mere
12 months later (2001), scientists developed technology to
study the brain waves of the little guys. Rather than paying
attention to the potential threat, the team of Ivy-League
scientists created "Hamster Games", miniature-sized video
games that tested their ability to learn. The information
gathered was fascinating, but the signs were
overlooked.
As a result of
'Hamster-Ball' and the violence learned from video games, Hamsters
revolted. Using what they had learned, some Hamster developed self
defense classes, including karate, Taekwondo, judo, and Jujitsu to
name a few.
Fast-forward two years
and the development of the HAHI (Hamsters Against Humans
Initiative) rebellion was in full swing. With Hamsterists
working around the clock devloping new technology, weapons,
and new ways of communication.
Beyond even our
imagination, a covert team of Hamsters were even working on
chemical technology, testing their formulas on their own kind. The
results were devestating, and frightening.
While the Hamsters
were rebelling and growing their forces, our top scientists (who
funded and created the first Artificial Intellegence programs for
Hamsters and helped genetically alter their brain development) were
working on their own top secret project - how to stop the Hamsters.
After 4 years since the first Hamster kick-off, a solution was
found. The human scientists developed a way to undo the changes in
brain development of Hamsters. Once released, Hamsters would return
to their normal 'pre-Y2K' state.
Shortly after, some guy
in Pennsylvania headed out in to the woods with a pocket full
of hamsters, some Tupperware and a can of Vienna sausages. The
rest is history........except for the Vienna sausages...no
one’s really sure what’s up with that.
