ELMWOOD, NEW JERSEY– Scientists in New Jersey are baffled by a man who they say lives his entire life as though he were a chipmunk, going so far with the lifestyle that he actually goes underground every year for an annual hibernation.
Jacob Truman, 35, who goes by the name “Chippy”, has been living as a chipmunk since 2005 after he went to a local park and saw an Eastern chipmunk burrowing into the ground with a peanut.
“Chirrup-Chirrup-chicka,” Chippy uttered in an indecipherable language as scientists fed him peanuts outside of a wooded area.
Even though Chippy is a fully grown man who graduated from college and got married, he acts as though he has no human capabilities whatsoever and spends almost all of his time either underground or communicating with other chipmunks.
“I still love my Jacob, I mean Chippy,” said 34 year old Lisa, Chippy’s wife of 16 years. “Every day I drive out to the park where Chippy lives and call out his name until he comes out of his little hole in the ground. I give him a few peanuts and watch him frolic around the ground with some of the other chipmunks. Maybe someday Chippy will get tired of living this way and decide to come back home and live his life as a man. But until then, I’ll just keep living with my wife Jane.”
Like chipmunks, Chippy lives on a diet of seeds, nuts, grass, insects, and bird eggs. One of the main differences between Chippy and real chipmunks is that he shoots himself up with tranquilizers before going into hibernation and also comes out at night to rape and murder Asian prostitutes.
