Turning a squirrel in my lathe?

Okay guys, the polls are closed. Thanks for your guesses, both funny and serious!
Extropic and Silverbullet, you are correct, I was repairing it with glue. The plastic creature was almost broken in half, across its back just below the forelegs.

I like the other reasons better. Damn, you had to ruin a good run of wise cracks..
