Is he kidding? Rioting is France's national pastime. The native French do it, the immigrants do it. Students, farmers, public transit workers, the unemployed, the intellectuals, rioting seems to be how they celebrate life.

There is a great book co-written by Jane Goodall titled Visions of Caliban: On Chimpanzees and People. Many chapters cover incidents just like this where people keep chimps as pets or as performers. In one, a pair of married psychiatrists tried to raise a female chimp as a human, including…

The animal was only doing what came natural.

Yes, like a serial killer or that face-eating chimp in Connecticut, USA. When this thing gets loose and kills a handler or a tourist, who is going to take responsibility for not putting it down now that it is a man-eater?

Back in the sixties, Honda put out a hatchback S-600 and it gave you 90 miles to a gallon of gas, but they didn't continue sales of this model.

The vehicle probably wouldn't meet today's American safety standards for crash. Every time a new safety requirement is mandated, such as…

“It was a bit lonely. I shared a chocolate fondue with my dog.”

That's what happens when you physically attack your boyfriend in his sleep.

But Lott said he could not prove Phelps smoked marijuana.

“We had a photo and him saying he was sorry for inappropriate behavior,” Lott said. “He never said, ‘I smoked marijuana.’ We didn’t have physical evidence.”
