David Lynch, master of surrealism in *Twin Peaks*, *Eraserhead* and *Mulholland Drive*, even turned a war against squirrels into art! For a decade, he used a system to protect bird feeders. When it broke, Lynch found an unusual solution: an old vinyl record.

"I made one of these in 1987, and the squirrels destroyed it. I finally got an LP and put it on the stand - and it worked!" he told The Telegraph. "The squirrels couldn't climb up. I called it the 'Disk of Sadness'. I saw adult squirrels crying because they couldn't reach the feeder anymore!"

With Lynch's typical absurdist humor, he transformed a domestic problem into a Lynchian narrative. The "Disco da Sadness" sounds like something out of your mystery films. This story shows the light and creative side of the director, who finds poetry even in mundane things.

A must-see for fans of David Lynch, bizarre curiosities and anyone who loves seeing artists in everyday situations. Proof that creativity has no limits!
