Gorillas On TV
The staff at the Dallas zoo in Texas have
come up with a very original way of
entertaining their gorillas: allowing them to
watch DVDs. And it’s working. Brian, a 14-
year-old mountain gorilla, was diagnosed
as clinically depressed. But now he’s much
better and he can’t get enough of the TV.
His favourite programmes are cartoons
and National Geographic documentaries.
The gorillas are fond of Disney cartoons,
with The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and
Beauty and the Beast on their list of
favourites.
“They don’t follow the story, of course,”
said Erin McDougal, one of his keepers.
“But they like the music, the colour and all
the movement.
It’s All Beer
A police officer is facing dismissal for
an unusual offence: drinking police
evidence. “They told me to go to
destroy some confiscated property,”
said 28-year-old officer Mark Lake.
“And that’s what I did. And so what if
I drank it? It got destroyed, didn’t it?”
Lake said during press conference.
In total, officer Lake drank 84 cans of
beer, which had been confiscated by
police after a raid on an under-aged
drinking party.
“There was no crime committed,”
says Lake’s lawyer, Simon Buze.
“Turning beer to urine is acceptable
destruction of stolen property, in my
opinion,” he added.
