Video Monkey: Monkeys vs Tiger!

I don't know what is better about this video.  The odd disney cartoon like sound effects and music or that awesome scottish guy talking at the end.  I wonder what zookeeper thought it was a good idea to mix monkeys with tigers.  At least it ends with a happy ending, and not some gruesome monkey carnage.

All is Right With the World Again

Fear not, everyone. Apparently, Siegfried and Roy are open to one day making a comeback.

I promise you that tigers are nice, and my tiger friend loves me. What? No one believes me? Come on, come play with my tiger friend.
