How about some new pets for our Simian President?

Report: Man dies in monkey attack

NEW DELHI, India (AP) -- Wild monkeys attacked a senior government official who then fell from a balcony at his home and died Sunday, media reported.

New Delhi Deputy Mayor S.S. Bajwa was rushed to a hospital after the attack by a gang of Rhesus macaques, but succumbed to head injuries sustained in his fall, the Press Trust of India news agency and The Times of India reported.

Many government buildings, temples and residential neighborhoods in New Delhi are overrun by Rhesus macaques, which scare passers-by and occasionally bite or snatch food from unsuspecting visitors.

Part of the problem is that devout Hindus believe monkeys are manifestations of the monkey god Hanuman and feed them bananas and peanuts -- encouraging them to frequent public places.

Well, boo hoo then.

Ah, now we know how we become the planet of the apes! All this time we thought Dubya was a stupid human being when he's actually an intelligent monkey.

HAIL TO THE CHIMP!

Where are their hands?

Bush is so not worthy of being called 'simian' (though he does remind me of one).

An Indian lady on the radio said that most incidents were started by fearful people attacking the monkeys first, or at least behaving in such a way as to encourage them to defend themselves. The result being lots of dead monkeys and some injured humans, for little to no reason. The usual mass hysteria thing I guess.
