Granted we get a lot of stories of idiots doing things while intoxicated, and also lots of stories involving people breaking into zoo enclosures. But after reading the referenced article I'm more than willing to accept this as an HM given how cartooney it all sounds. The article humorously refers to the zoo enclosure as "Thunderdome" given the list of injuries this guy suffered. That the monkeys didn't even try to escape from the open enclosure afterwards just adds to the humor of it all to me. The original submission could use a MUCH better writeup, but the article is well worth the read. Thanks, Gerard!

Okay, this is hilarious. It also shows that animals don't necessarily want to be free at all costs; they want security and lots of food, which they get in the zoo! Thanks, Gerard.
