Now that is a zoo!

That is what actually happened the other day at a Florida zoo.

According to this article (Huge rhinoceros escapes from cage at Florida zoo) a Rhino named Archie found himself free…

Workers at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens spent about five hours trying to get a 4,000-pound rhinoceros back in his cage.

Archie was out of his overnight stall when employees showed up for work Thursday morning. He had escaped once before, years ago, and was lured back to his cage with food.

Craig Miller, the zoo’s curator of mammals, says the food didn’t work this time.

About 20 zoo workers corralled Archie in the elephant compound and sedated him. Then he was led down a service road back to his own area.

The 41-year-old white rhino never left zoo property, and there was a fence keeping him from public areas. It appeared the animal was able to escape because someone did not secure the gate.

Better keep that Rhino tied up next time!

A BURGLAR who broke into the home of two sleeping men rubbed spices over the body of one and hit the other with 20cm sausage.

In what police in the US city of Fresno called one of the most bizarre cases they had come across, the burglar threw away the assault weapon as he fled and a dog ate it, the Fresno Bee newspaper reported.

Fresno County police officer Lieutenant Ian Burrimond said the suspect was found hiding in a field a few minutes later.

Deputies had no problem linking the suspect to the crime, he told the paper.

“It seems the guy ran out of the house wearing only a T-shirt, boxer shorts and socks, leaving behind his wallet with his ID,” Lt Burrimond said.

A 12 year-old girl from Lebanon has razor-sharp crystals coming out of her eyes. A very bizarre and unexplained condition. Reminds me of an anime where there’s a girl that cries and tears diamonds..

but this is different this is real life now.
what amazes me is it doesn’t damage her eyes?…
