The Facts


"But wouldn't everyone notice if the president of the university was actually made of squirrels?" you may ask. Well, everyone knows that when you watch television, what you are really seeing is many changing pixels that your brain is interpreting as images. Similarly, when we look at Tony Frank, instead of noticing that he is, in fact, 20-30 squirrels in a suit, our brain falsely pattern matches them into a Tony Frank-sized human being. This phenomenon is known as Apophenia, defined by Wikipedia as "the tendency to attribute meaning to perceived connections or patterns between seemingly unrelated things."

The only visible part of the squirrels is Tony Frank's beard, which is in fact the tail of the squirrel who acts as the leader.
