You get into Faces of Death videos, too? Seriously, since I know you don't
read newspapers (because they are detrimental) I share with you an item
from last Sunday's North County Times, which you might add in some way to
your compilations. (And BTW, I have a video, if you'd like, of a toddler in
a high chair eating raw pork as non--chalantly as you could ever imagine,
but I suppose it wouldn't really go along with the theme, eh?)
>From page D-4 box entitled "Earthweek: A Diary of the Planet (no specific
reference, beyond was is mentioned in text, is given for the source of this
item, but that hardly matters when its as "hard-hitting and awesome" as
this is)...
"More than 30 angry baboons killed a man out of revenge in the Tororo
District of southeastern Uganda, according to a report in the _New_Vision_
newspaper. A local council official said that the human victim, Okecho,
killed a male baboon for damaging his maise and banana plantations. More
than 30 other baboons converged at Okecho's compound and 'mourned like
human beings' before carrying their fallen comrade into the forest.
Neighbors said that the animals later returned and stormed the farmer's
house, knocking down the door. A _New_Vision_ reporter reaching the scene
saw Okecho lying in a pool of blood with a large pool of blood where the
heart had been pulled out."
Ah, another urban (well..er, rural Ugandan) legend is born...;)
Cheers, (I think)
