This has nothing to do with politics, but …

Four baboons escaped from their outdoor enclosure at the Texas Biomedical Research Center in San Antonio.  They used a barrel to climb over a fence and took off.  One returned immediately but the three others thought it was Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and danced naked down the streets of San Antonio.

While that could be amusing for local residents, what was not amusing is that the monkeys were being chased by people in biomedical gear, something your average household member does not own.

The research center said the dystopian outfits were for “the baboon’s protection” since they can catch human diseases. Yeah, okay. I don’t suspect people should be too worried, but I’ve read Michael Creighton novels and this is how they all start.

The three amigo baboons were captured and returned to the facility unhurt, but the barrel got put in the time-out corner.
