Before heading into the weekend, we must take note of some significant activities that have been going on around the world over the past week.  Namely, the fact that this has been an unprecedented week for stories about wild animals doing truly absurd things.  Seriously, folks, the following three stories could easily make up an hour-long show on FOX some Friday during the summer.

And did we say we feel certain having 3 of these stories in one week is without precedent?  Here they are…

(1) On Sunday, it was reported that a gang of Rhesus macaques in New Delhi attacked the deputy mayor, who then fell off his balcony to his death.  Check here for the full story.

(2) On Tuesday, it was reported that six wild elephants in Gauhati, India, were electrocuted after getting drunk from taking down large quantities of rice beer being brewed in the village.  Check here for that full story.

(3) And finally, on Thursday, it was reported that some wild monkeys in Kenya have been making lewd gestures towards women.  In fact, the women have now often begun dressing as men so as to avoid the harassment from the monkeys.  Check here if you don’t believe us.

This is truly an amazing run of ridiculous animal-related stories.  We feel certain that a run of stories like this will likely not occur for the next 50 years, at least.

So sit back, pour yourself a rice beer, and enjoy the reading.
