Animal overdoses



A trio of news items today about animal overloading:

  • A grasshopper swarm invaded a town in the Sudan, and 11 people died from breathing problems, cause the grasshoppers smell bad or something.
  • A couple in London was sharing their flat with 150 cats. The cats had taken over the bedrooms, leaving the couple to sleep on the living room floor. How does your life ever take this kind of turn?
  • Monkeys in India are running amok again. They seem to do this a lot. I see a lot of news stories about it. Some good quotes:
      But the officials who work there are fed up. They’ve been bitten, robbed and otherwise tormented by monkeys that ransack files, bring down power lines, screech at visitors and bang on office windows.

      …Macaques are crafty pickpockets, know how to open refrigerators, and brazenly snatch lunch pails from government workers, he said.

    Those damn bastard monkeys! They keep trying to capture and ship them to other places, but all the other areas refuse them cause they have too many monkeys to deal with already. I think we should send them to colonize other planets for us. That seems like the most obvious solution to me. Train them to use some tools, help them develop their culture and a language, and then POOF! We can just step in once they’ve done the dirty work, and we can rule over them as their lords and masters.
