The great ape escape

[Doomsday101]

A gorilla climbed out of the Riverbanks Zoo exhibit Friday, using a droopy bamboo shoot no thicker than one of his strong fingers to pull himself over a 10-foot wall near the pizza restaurant.

Heard he likes to play golf as well.

A reporter interviewed him after the incident and he said that if he had not returned to the enclosure he would have headed to a Mexican beach.

I am starting to wonder if his enclosure is littered with newspapers from the dallas media.

I'm sure he could overcome much of this but the throwing of feces when he gets upsets is a bit much. Then again we broke Haley from taking a wiz in people’s cars so maybe this guy can overcome this as well.
