Post Monkey on the Lam!
I think this is probably one of the funniest news headlines that I've seen in a long time, in Japan or otherwise!

Basically you can go here to read all about the monkey that was wandered into Shibuya station on August 20th here:

Here is a link to some Japanese news coverage of it, on youtube:

I can only imagine what the reaction of the very first person who saw this monkey must have been...I think it would have made my day if I had been in Shibuya station while this happened! A single monkey managed to outsmart all of those Japanese policemen...classic!

So...discuss!

I think the best part is like 12 policemen stood around trying to figure out what to do for TWO HOURS, then the monkey ended up escaping! :D Go Monkey go!!!

Obviously since he was in Shibuya station he was just trying to get to the local Bathing Ape outlet :chuckle:

This makes me miss The Colbert Report's "Monkey on the Lam" segment :-) See what I'm talking about here:
