The armadillo got hit by the truck and died a horrible, painful death. I know, it's a crappy joke, but it'll definitely get you some sort of attention.
Exactly, a slow painful death. And all of the animal kingdom, from the squirrels to the lions, will look at the armadillo, and look away. Armadillos suck, no one likes them. When they go to the movies, they always talk really loud on their phones, and they cut in line.
