Blood-Sucking Monkeys At Temple Attack Hundreds Of Kids

Monkeys lurking at an ancient Hindu temple in India's northeast have attacked up to 300 children over three weeks.

Temple officials said the monkeys hide in trees and swoop on unsuspecting children, "clawing them and even sucking a bit of blood." They said at least 2,000 rhesus monkeys roam in and around the temple, but none had shown aggressive behavior in the past.

While occasional attacks by monkeys are not uncommon at temples, the sudden surge in attacks at the Gauhati temple has experts perplexed. Some said the monkeys may be turning violent because of shrinking living spaces, or because animals once kept as pets might not have been able to adjust to new lives around the temple.

rock the vote

Spider Jerusalem on voting:
"You want to know about voting. I'm here to tell you about voting. Imagine you're locked in a huge underground night-club filled with sinners, whores, freaks and unnameable things that rape pitbulls for fun. And you ain't allowed out until you all vote on what you're going to do tonight. You like to put your feet up and watch 'Republican Party Reservation'. They like to have sex with normal people using knives, guns, and brand new sexual organs you did not even know existed. So you vote for television, and everyone else, as far as your eye can see, votes to fuck you with switchblades. That's voting. You're welcome."     -- Warren Ellis
