Monkey Escapes On New York Flight

First snakes, now monkeys. An escaped monkey held up a flight at New York's JFK airport for nearly four hours Thursday.

There was a lot of monkey business in the cargo hold of the Air China Boeing 747, and Port Authority emergency-services officers and an airport worker had to go looking for the little guy.

They caught the animal before it managed to get out of the jet’s cargo hold. But he was only one of about 60 monkeys being shipped to China for medical research.

IKEA Is Making A Camera Now



It can store 40 pictures, perfect for weddings, beach days, and all that jazz. It is essentially a cell phone camera with zero doo-dads- you can't even see what the pictures look like until you stick the USB adapter into your computer. It's like the disposable cameras of old, except you a) don't have to pay and wait for Walgreens to half-heartedly develop the shit on time (I'm obviously bitter) and b) don't have to throw it away after the first time, unless, you know, you want to.

If this thing is cheap, this could be a revolution.
