Lil’ Monkey Befriends Dog
09/24/11 -- Wacky News
“A Japanese macaque monkey has found comfort in a local’s pet dog after Typhoon Roke hit the center of the country last week. The monkey was spotted by Yoshiaki Mae in the mountains as it looked confused and frightened, provoking him to rescue the nine-inch-tall animal. Noticing the instant friendship the macaque developed with his pet mongrel dog, named Goma, Mae took the monkey home to care for it. Since then, the rescued animal has clung on to Goma, keeping itself attached to the fluffy black canine for comfort. Mae’s neighbors have all warmed to the new little resident, but the saviour plans to return the macaque back into its natural habitat once it shows signs of regaining its health.” w/ photo

64-Year-Old Stuntman Breaks James Bond Record
09/24/11 -- Wacky News
“A 64-year-old stuntman has smashed a world record previously set during the filming of James Bond — by driving through a breakaway glass structure. Rocky Taylor jumped a spinning BMW at speed through a 19ft 69in by 13ft 12in sheet of breakaway glass at the O2 Area in Greenwich south London. This broke the previous record which was set during the filming of Die Another Day when actor Pierce Brosnan drove an Aston Martin through a 8ft 3.5in by 5ft 4.5in glass panel in the Ice Palace scene. The new record was attempted to help raise awareness for ‘Remember A Charity In Your Will’ and was the second Rocky has done this year having previously jumped 40ft from a burning building. As you do.” w/ photos
