Happy 200th posting to all of you!

I am back. This is my 200th posting since February of last year. I would say it is quite a milestone but in a base 10 world, it may have some meaning, but really it is as arbitrary a milestone as any.

I culled this tidbit off the AP wire. Just when I thought it was a "dog eat dog" world, I find out it really is a "bear eat monkey" world. All I thought I knew has been thrown into a state of flux and now I can say I do not really know who I am anymore. Damn disociative disorders! I do not know myself but I can pull out psychological and psychiatric diagnoses, will the wonders of the universe never cease.

Bears Eat Monkey in Front of Zoo Visitors
Mon May 15, 10:52 PM ET
Bears killed and ate a monkey in a Dutch zoo in front of horrified visitors, witnesses and the zoo said Monday. In the incident Sunday at the Beekse Bergen Safari Park, several Sloth bears chased the Barbary macaque into an electric fence, where it was stunned.
It recovered and fled onto a wooden structure, where one bear pursued and mauled it to death.
The park confirmed the killing in a statement, saying: "In an area where Sloth bears, great apes and Barbary macaques have coexisted peacefully for a long time, the harmony was temporarily disturbed during opening hours on Sunday."
"Of course the habitats here in the safari park are arranged in such a way that one animal almost never kills another, but they are and remain wild animals," it said.
Witness Marco Berelds posted a detailed report on the incident, including photos, on a Dutch Web site. He said one Sloth bear tried unsuccessfully to shake the monkey loose after it took refuge on the structure, built of crossing horizontal and vertical poles.
Ignoring attempts by keepers to distract it, the bear climbed onto a horizontal pole, and, standing stretched on two legs, "used its sharp canines to pull the macaque, which was shrieking and resisting, from its perch."
The bear then brought the animal to a concrete den, where three bears ate it.
The zoo said it "usually wasn't possible" for keepers to intervene when an animal killed another.
The park plans now to move the Barbary macaques — which are large monkeys but often inaccurately called "Barbary Apes" — to another part of the park, it said.

Give the bears credit for use of the electrified fence. They better not let these bears escape or we will be overrun by Uber Bears who will enslave us, or at least get us to stick our hands in the beehives to pull out bee larvae for them. Why should they get stung when they have us to do their bidding?

Now that would have been quite the zoo show. It is better than watching Discovery because it is live, well not the monkey anymore sadly, but it is a bear eat monkey world out there. Sometimes you eat lunch and sometimes you are lunch.

I had other shit to discuss here, but after reading that bear/monkey story, I forgot it all. It was brilliant, too. Of course, I say that as it came from my fertile mind, so I would question the source, if I were in your shoes. However, if I were in your shoes, they probably would be ill fitting and very uncomfortable, so I would be preoccupied with that discomfort and be unable or unlikely to think straight. What that all means, I have no clue.

All I know is that I have to write that shit down when it hits me. I usually do but somehow forgot. Prison Break was good as usual with more twists to the plot. Going to run, hope you enjoyed the read. Ciao!
