Monkey See, Monkey Do?
Okay first of all that's not a very appropriate title. I thought about going with something like "Monkeylocks and the three bears", but thats not much better. Second of all I knew this would happen. Well not this in particular. Be warned however, that link contains a potentially disturbing photo of a bear eating a monkey. But I knew that when I forced out that Top 5 post below that something would come along that I actually felt like talking about instead of a crap post just to fill space. So feel free to skip the post below, but be sure to check out the 10 Things I Hate Abount Comandments video, because thats just funny (no doubt).

Anyway, back to the monkey-eating bears. So there is a zoo in Amsterdam that keeps monkeys and bears in the same enclosure. One thing leads to another and now the zoo has one less monkey and three bears can probably afford to skip their next meal. That link goes to a pretty short MSNBC article, and yet in just a few short words there were many things that amused me:

First four words of the article "Bears killed and devoured...". Could you devour something without killing it? If you could that would be pretty fucking sick. I'm using 'sick' in that case in the literal form, not meaning 'cool' like how the kids say.

They describe it as a "grisly scene". Bears. Grisly. Grizzly Bears! The fact that the story involves sloth bears has no effect on my amusement level.

I knew there were sloths. I knew there were bears. I did not know there were sloth bears. Cool!

There were three bears. Straight out of the fairy tales. This is what happens when the porridge is too cold.

Someone from the zoo was quoted as saying "The habitats here in the safari park are arranged in such a way that one animal almost never kills another...". Almost.
