                 'Monkey Man' Attacks Cause Hysteria

                 by HEMA SHUKLA
                 Associated Press Writer

                 NEW DELHI, India (AP) -- Police are blaming a
                 band of men in masks for what they call hysteria
                 among residents of New Delhi, who claim a
                 mysterious ''monkey man'' has been attacking people
                 late at night.

                 Police have received up to 50 sightings in one night of
                 the alleged attacker -- described by witnesses as a
                 4-foot tall creature with a hairy body and metal claws.
                 At one point, police ran short of vehicles to check on
                 the reports.

                 The hysteria has led to two deaths. A pregnant
                 woman sleeping on her rooftop terrace died Tuesday
                 night when she slipped running down the stairs as
                 neighbors screamed that the monkey man had struck,
                 the Statesman newspaper reported.

                 A man was killed Monday when he jumped off the
                 roof of his house screaming, ''The monkey has come!''

                 ''It is nothing but mass hysteria,'' said Manoj Kumar
                 Lal, a deputy commissioner of police.

                 ''It seems a group of people in masks are terrorizing
                 people,'' the Statesman quoted an unidentified police
                 officer as saying.

                 Police have blamed the panic on uneducated poor
                 people, many of them believers in the supernatural,
                 and the sweltering heat and darkness due to electricity
                 cuts.

                 Harassed police authorities in New Delhi have urged
                 the state-run power company to ensure uninterrupted
                 power supply from dawn to dusk so that panicked
                 residents would feel safer.

                 Recently residents of a New Delhi suburb caught and
                 beat up a 4-foot-tall wandering Hindu mystic, thinking
                 he was the simian terror, the Statesman newspaper
                 said.

                 He was handed over to police, and thousands
                 crowded outside the station for a glimpse of the
                 alleged monkey man, causing a near stampede.

Is it just me or are people in other cultures, in different parts of the world f*cking morons?

OH MY GOD! I saw the virgin mary in my donut!

OH MY GOD! The monkey man is attacking!

You know, if the monkey man tried that sh*t with me he would get a mouth full off my left foot, followed by some 9mm lead.

Furry little freak!

No but I have heard of the "New Jersy Devil."
A man-goat-lizard-horse thing. I am thinking of investing in a 50 cal. and snipeing him out.

Trying not to sound naive or anything BUT, since I never saw him IN a porno, how did a guy that looks like him get to be in a porno?  Is he THAT well "endowed"?

Here in MD we have some goat man (according to the Discovery Channel).  He lives outside of Bowie I think.  I don't know where he commutes from, though.

Just think, these folks have a nuclear weapon stockpile! Kinda' seems at odds with the vision of 'wandering Hindu mystics' doesn't it?
