Chinese Man Bites Panda

Perhaps there’s a lesson here for panda-huggers everywhere.  From the front page of today’s Taipei Times:

A drunken Chinese tourist bit a panda at the Beijing Zoo after the animal attacked him when he jumped into the enclosure and tried to hug it, state media said yesterday.

(Afterwards, the man is said to have remarked, "It tasted just like koala.")

UPDATE (Sep 21/06):  I reproduce a comment from The Daily Gut:

This guy should be locked up immediately. His defense for abusing the Panda is "I just wanted to touch it. I was so dizzy from the beer. I don’t remember much." This kind of thing always starts with Pandas but before you know it this sick puppy will be hanging around the Petting Zoo with sugarcubes preying on innocent pigs and donkeys.

Pope to Abolish Limbo – D&D Players Livid

Pope Benedict XVI has probably considered the theological consequences of abolishing Limbo, but has he stopped to give a moment’s thought about what this could mean for Dungeons and Dragons campaigns?  Maybe he should!

Funny stuff on the subject:

H.P. Lovecraft and the Sunday Funnies

OK, I admit it.  I liked The Family Circus when I was a kid.  And I became a fan of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft several years later.

At last, the circle is complete:
