ESPN.com's 2005 NFL predictions. The first four each pick a different team to win the AFC West. But the final tally ends up being Chargers 5, Chiefs 3, Raiders 3, Broncos 1. And nobody picks them to win the AFC -- it's usually Colts, sometimes Patriots, and Theismann picks Steelers. Hrm. Intriguing.

ASAHIKAWA, Hokkaido -- A recently opened zoo display featuring spider monkeys and capybaras -- the world's largest rodents -- backfired when a capybara bit one of the monkeys and killed it, zoo officials announced.

The attack occurred in the "spider monkey-capybara" facility at Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa at about 2 p.m. on Aug. 29, officials said. A spider monkey in the cage reportedly entered a pool used by capybaras, and started fighting with one of the capybaras in the water.


Interesting addendum: according to the Catholic Church, the capybara is a fish.

Via [livejournal.com profile] mightygodking, Barbara Bush the Elder channels Marie Antoinette, referring to evacuees now living in the Astrodome:

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
