24 MIDWEEK FEBRUARY 22, 2023
Momo the lar gib- bon, who lives at the Kujukushima Zoo and Botanical Garden Mori Kirara in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, delivered a baby in February 2021, which surprised zookeep- ers, since Momo lived in her own enclosure with no males around. She was very protec- tive of the offspring, United Press International reported, so it wasn’t until two years later that handlers were able to collect DNA from the youngster to determine who the father was.

For Sale By Non-owners
A couple in Etobicoke, Toronto, left on an extend- ed business trip in January 2022, CTV News reported. When they returned home months later, they were stunned to realize that their house had been sold and the new owners had moved in. Police said a man and wom- an impersonated the owners, hired a real estate agent and listed the property using fake identification. Police are still looking for the imposters.
Was It Worth The Shot?
On Jan. 16, Brazilian attor- ney Leandro Mathias de No- vaes delivered his mother to the Laboratoria Cura in Sao Paolo, where she was sched- uled for an MRI. Before they both entered the MRI room, the New York Post reported, they were asked to remove any metal objects from their persons and signed a form detailing the protocols, but Novaes opted to not remove, or disclose, his concealed weapon. When the MRI’s magnetic field yanked the pistol from his waistband, it fired and struck him in the stomach; he was hospitalized for three weeks after the inci- dent but died on Feb. 6.
Early in the morning of Feb. 5, 20-year-old Lantz Kurtz broke into a gas sta- tion in Palm Coast, Florida, and stole multiple items. He exited via the front door, ap- parently unaware that he’ d left a big clue behind: his
debit card, Fox35-TV re- ported. Officers responding to the alarm found the card and tracked down Kurtz, who told them he had intended to come back to the store and pay for the items.
Jan. 20, CNN reported. The unnamed man was knocked to the ground by the strug- gling pig, which had revived after a shot from a stun gun, and suffered a wound from a meat cleaver.
As it turned out, a 34-year- old agile gibbon, Itou, was the baby daddy. Zookeepers found that a partition be- tween Momo’s exhibit and Itou’s off-display area had a perforated board with holes about 9mm in diameter, and they believe the two were able to mate through one of those holes. The perforated board was replaced with a steel plate, but Momo and Itou will be introduced prop- erly to each other so that they may live as a family.

But Sheriff Rick Staly wasn’t having it.
Strangely, police said, the man’s wounds were to his hand and foot; a cause of death had not been released. The Labour Department ex- tended its “deepest sympathy to his family.”
“Leaving a debit card be- hind does not absolve you from theft or committing a burglary,” he said.

Dream Job
Five lucky participants will clear a cool $1,000 to do what they wanted to do anyway: Eat cheese before bedtime.
Fox5-TV reported that Sleep Junkie, a mattress re- view website, hopes to test the legend that eating cheese before bed causes night- mares, so they’re asking “dairy dreamers” to consume a wide variety of cheeses, log their sleep and provide feed- back about sleep quality, en- ergy levels and bad dreams.
