Chimp in daring zoo break-out
Jul 23 - Dodging tranquillizer darts and yelping at his captors, a brazen chimp staged his own version of The Great Escape.
At Ishikawa Zoo, western Japan a 42-year-old chimpanzee named Ichiro led the audacious break-out from his pen and refused to come down from the roof.
At one point the chimp even grabbed the zoo worker's tranquillizer gun, but luckily it fell to the floor. Eventually the chimp was lured with a banana and then sedated.
It is thought the chimp was trying to find shelter from the sweltering heat that Japan has been having. Temperatures are expected to reach 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) on Wednesday (July 23).

JibJab strikes again
Jul. 16 - JibJab's latest musical satire "Time for some Campaignin'" pokes fun at the U.S. presidential selection process by adapting Bob Dylan's 1964 song, "The Times They are a-changin".
The video satirically spotlights the quadrennial American process of selecting a president with animated images of John McCain and Barack Obama. The video portrays Obama as a liberal unicorn-riding candidate in a fantasy world and McCain as a war-obsessed cranky old man.
The video was produced by brothers Evan and Gregg Spiridellis, who began JibJab in 1999 and gained famed in 2004 with a video of George Bush and John Kerry singing "This Land is your Land."
