Student Learns the Hard way that Cuddly-Looking Creatures Aren’t Always Friendly
It’s off-topic, but I can’t resist re-printing this blurb from the December 5, 2008 issue of The Week.
[It was a bad week for] a Chinese college student [who] climbed into a zoo pen so he could hug a panda bear. “Yangyang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him,” said the student from his hospital bed. “I didn’t expect he would attack. I don’t remember how many bites I got.”

You have questions.
Well duhhh! The operative word here is “bear”, not “cute cuddly cartoon panda”…
It never fails to amaze me just how stupid people can be… a college student… I’m shaking my head just thinking about it. Maybe he’ll think twice next time he decides to go hug a wild animal…
