Chimp Escapes at Little Rock Zoo, Gets a Snack, and Cleans the Bathroom - CBS News
ho knew that escaped chimps just wanted to do a bit of house cleaning?
The 120-pound primate, Judy, escaped yesterday into a service area when a zookeeper opened a door to her sleeping quarters, unaware the animal was still inside.
As keepers tried to woo Judy back into her cage, she rummaged through a refrigerator where chimp snacks are stored. She opened kitchen cupboards, pulled out juice and soft drinks and took a swig from bottles she managed to open.
Keeper Ann Rademacher says Judy went into the bathroom, picked up a toilet brush and cleaned the toilet. Rademacher says the 37-year-old Judy was a house pet before the zoo acquired her in 1988, so she may have been familiar with housekeeping chores. Judy wrung out a sponge and scrubbed down the fridge.
It took a couple of tries, but the zoo sedated the chimp, who fell asleep on top of the refrigerator with half a loaf of cinnamon-raisin bread she had pulled out of the freezer.

he solution appears to be setting wmode to transparent in the flash markup. This has to be done for both the object/param and embed tags. This is new knowlegde to me, but in the future I will try to do this automatically in Highslide so that the web designer doesn’t have to think about it.
