I have to say that I think these are a really good idea:
The Rotterdam Zoo is giving away cardboard glasses that make it appear that you're looking off to one side; these are gorilla-viewing glasses, meant to avoid incidents in which gorillas attack visitors for making eye contact with them. The glasses' introduction follows an attack on a woman by an escaped gorilla; the specs are sponsored by a local health-insurance company."You lookin' at me? You lookin' at me?! I don't see any other gorillas around here so you must be lookin' at me!" Of course those on the political right will just accuse the zoo officials of appeasing the gorilla terrorists but what can you do?

I've got this buddy who's probably 6-3 and 275 pounds. He's a pretty big guy. So we were at the zoo with a large group of people, standing there and looking at the gorillas. I'll be danged if one of them didn't shriek like a banchee, shake his fist, run down the side of his little hill and throw a stick at my buddy with all his might.
Funny moment.
They're so like us, one L...and then they'll throw they're crap at us. And none of my opinions change about them...
When I was a kid I said to my mum "I think that gorilla is going to chuck its poo at us..."
She says "oh don't be silly dear.... " and then it came like sprayed mud at a wall.
One hysterical lady got it in her hair. Top fun.
Later that same day at the zoo my mum was mugged by an emu who wanted her choc bar. That was even better.
VZ, I became a little nervous waiting for the inevitable "but it wasn't chocolate..." line at the end of that story, mate.
It was just a chocolate snack bar. Imagine a psycho rooster - as big as you are - coming for what's in your hand, whether you want to give it up or not.
Well I guess you had to be there...
