Friday Fun Stuff--Orangutans Gone Wild!

I found this off Yahoo News:

TAIPEI (Reuters) - An orangutan chewed through her cage and went on a three-hour rampage at a Taiwan entertainment park until authorities subdued it with a stun gun, a park employee said Thursday.

The 19-year-old primate, named "Little Blackie," turned over iceboxes, garbage cans and motor scooters near the ticketing gates of Santao Mountain Entertainment Area in Kaohsiung County after her escape Wednesday, said a park worker surnamed Hsu.

"She just turned everything upside down," Hsu said.

About two hours later, a county agricultural team shot the orangutan with a stun gun, she said. No human or beast was injured.

An 11-year-old gorilla burst out of its enclosure at a zoo in the Dutch city of Rotterdam Friday, attacked a woman and went on a rampage in the zoo's cafeteria before being recaptured.

And you can see the video of Little Blackie having some fun at the zoo here. From YouTube:



You know, if Little Blackie just wanted to get away and have a little fun at the zoo, she should have called up Cindy Lauper:



Girls just want to have fun....
