Gorillas in our midst

Mum, it's not fair. I don't want to go. We haven't seen the Zebras yet.

In these days of political correctness it's not often you see a story like this. The BBC headline is 'Gorilla on Rampage'.

Apparently the beast escaped its compound at a zoo in Holland and bit a woman before smashing its way into a canteen where people had barricaded themselves in. It had to be subdued with tranquiliser darts.

If only it had been 80 foot high.
