Long-feared monkey uprising underway

This is only tangentially related to sports, but it’s far too important to ignore.

South African baboons can now open car doors and have taken to raiding unlocked cars for food. Experts fear it will get worse when the World Cup hits Cape Town in 2010.

The most baffling quote in the article:

“The perception is that the baboons are harmless and they’re not. They’re wild animals.”

Wait, who perceives baboons as harmless? It’s not like they’re cute little monkeys. Lock your damn doors.
