Monkey attack kills Delhi leader
Is this entirely the monkeys' fault? Or is "don't fall off a terrace while fighting off hordes of monkeys" something that adults should know?
The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi has died a day after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys.
SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.
The city has long struggled to counter its plague of monkeys, which invade government complexes and temples, snatch food and scare passers-by.
The High Court ordered the city to find an answer to the problem last year.
One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.
The city has also employed monkey catchers to round them up so they can be moved to forests.
But the problem has persisted.

I liked the SCA bit on the left hand side of the unabridged chart.
Apparently, Hillary Clinton has a potty-mouth and is often very angry. At least that's what all these Hillary quotes show: [link]
So, um... are these accurate?

WTF?
Deftly, Ms. Tsukioka, a 29-year-old experimental fashion designer, lifted a flap on her skirt to reveal a large sheet of cloth printed in bright red with a soft drink logo partly visible. By holding the sheet open and stepping to the side of the road, she showed how a woman walking alone could elude pursuers — by disguising herself as a vending machine.
Yes, there are pictures. [link]
Is "experimental fashion designer" sorta' like "conceptual artist"?
The slide show of that is awesome -- I especially love the little kid with the phone booth backpack. It's definitely conceptual art, which I tend to like only when it's funny. Like this!
Apparently my grandmother in San Diego County got evacuated ahead of the fire. Yikes.
