Zoo Keeper Helps Constipated Monkey Pass Peanut By Licking Its Butt For An Hour

As stories about a Chinese zoo keeper licking a monkey's butt in order to save its life go, this one from chinaSMACK is by far the most endearing.

After a young Francois' leaf monkey in his care consumed a peanut that had been tossed into its enclosure, Wuhan Zoo employee Zhang Bangsheng noticed that the animal had become dangerously constipated.

Being too big to pass through the monkey's system naturally, the peanut had to be extracted manually. Apparently, that meant licking it out.

Zhang told local reporters the three-month-old lutung was too small for laxatives, so he had no choice but to extract the wayward legume with his lingua. After washing the its bottom with warm water (because not doing so would be disgusting), Zhang spent an hour polishing the monkey's pooper before the peanut finally popped out.

What became of it is up to your filthy imagination, but chinaSMACK says the caretaker subsequently "laughed with satisfaction."

So I guess the monkey got its salad tossed also...

Much better than dying of constipation though. Kudos to the handler.

Boring in Oregon votes to pair with Dull in Perthshire

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-18336146

The US town of Boring in Oregon has voted in favour of "pairing" with the village of Dull in Perthshire.

Boring decided for the move in the interests of trans-Atlantic relations, tourism and humour, after being approached by residents in Dull.

The decision means both places can sell novelty tourist items, get quirky road signs made and plan exchange visits.

The difference in size between Boring and Dull meant they could not officially become twin towns.

Boring has a population of 12,000 while Dull is a tiny village.

The Boring Community Planning Council voted in favour of a "declaration of pairing" after being approached by the Dull Women's Book Club.

The BBC's Alastair Leithead in Los Angeles says both settlements profess to be much more interesting than they sound - and are keen to cash in on inquisitive tourists.

The Dull and Weem Community Council intends to mark the partnership with a new road sign and a street party on 23 June.
'Stop for photos'

Community council chairwoman Marjorie Keddie has said the party would show "that we are neither dull or boring".

Mrs Keddie added: "We are also excited at the prospect of a new road sign, which will say something like 'Dull, in association with Boring' or 'in sisterhood with Boring'.

"I'm sure it will stop a few people in their tracks for photos."

"Extra tourism is the main reason we're doing this, as most of the businesses here are holiday homes and lodges."

The potential link between the two locations was the brainchild of Perthshire resident Elizabeth Leighton, who passed through Boring while on a cycling holiday.

Boring was named after William H Boring, an early resident of the area and former Union soldier in the American Civil War.

Dull's name is thought to have come from the Gaelic word for meadow, but others have speculated it could be connected to the Gaelic word "dul" meaning snare.

I'm pretty surprised that there was no security there, if anything like that happened here then security would be pulling them apart within seconds, instead the presenter was left to try and deal with it.

A PARTY stunt has backfired on a man who suffered serious injuries from letting a firework go off from his backside. The man was at a house party in Darwin on Saturday night, where he decided to put the firecracker between his buttocks.



The firecracker exploded, but it also burnt his backside, back and genital area, The NT News reports.

The man's injuries were so severe that he had to be airlifted to a hospital in Adelaide for further treatment at another burns unit.

Police said people could be fined close to $300 for letting off such fireworks in their local neighbourhood.

No, you wouldn't because once the gun owner realizes his gun isn't in his possession & the company/Amazon/UPS/whoever finds out you have it & you didn't report it, you'd have committed a felony & possibly given up your right to own a gun in the first place.
