A zoo cleaner took a page out of the Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy fame handbook.
According to eyewitnesses, Mr Nordin, who was seen shouting and flinging items about shortly before the incident, vaulted a low wall and landed in a moat in the enclosure, four meters below.
Carrying a yellow pail and a broom, he then crossed the 1.75m-deep moat, walked up to a rocky ledge near where the animals were and began agitating them by swinging the broom.
As two of the tigers approached him, he covered his head with the pail, lay down on the ground, and curled himself into a foetal position.
It all sounds fairly horrific-
He said many in the crowd of 30 or so onlookers at the enclosure initially thought the intrusion was part of a show. But when Mr Nordin began screaming, they reacted with horror.
‘Some were screaming: ‘Go away’ to the tigers and others were shouting to scare the tigers,’ he said.

Maybe we could be wrong… Someone could call her the "one eye" love, but this woman is asking for an eye-cam to be placed within her prosthetic eye. She does have very specific specifications. Besides just looking like an eyeball she is seeking:
DVR
- MPEG-4 Recording
- Built in SD mini Card Slot
- 4 GB SD mini Card
- Mini A/V out
- Firewire / USB drive
- Optical 3X
- Remote trigger
- Bluetooth wireless method
- Inductors: (Firewire/USB, power source)
Sounds like she should call Dell and have one sent in 2 to 4 weeks…

A coffin killed a woman as she was riding on her way to the cemetery to bury her husband. This doubly proves the point that having a funeral is no way to avoid death especially in Brazil.

A previous post discussed the 5 severed feet found in B.C. Well that was not the last of them. A seventh foot was found in a New Balance shoe on the beach.
Could this be the worst marketing idea ever by New Balance. Since there are 7 feet found- it obviously leaves us a bit off-balanced. The police have chalked it up to being natural detachment of the feet, but in reality it is just a really stinky situation for everyone.
We better hope that the B.C. police forensics team develops a foot fetish before sleepless in Seattle comes from the crawling in Columbia.

The wife is going to love this cotton garment…
If she looks too close it will probably get scrubbed on the bottom of a trash can. This is the definition of a likely true, but dangerous label.
This also makes everyone wonder how did this ever get printed?
If you want to go in this direction (sexist generalities and thinking) - since women generally shop more, this seems like a poor choice for a label no matter how you would look at it.
