    Zoo keeper mauled to death 'after defecating on tiger'

    A young Chinese tiger keeper has been mauled to death after apparently trying to defecate on one of his big cats.

    The 19-year-old appears to have climbed the railings of the Bengal tiger cage and pulled his trousers down.

    Evidence at the scene of the death at the Jinan animal park included toilet paper, excrement and a trouser belt.

    Zoo officials think Xu Xiaodong either slipped into the cage or was pulled in by one of the four angry tigers.

    According to the South China Morning Post, the man told a co-worker he needed to go to the toilet but police were called when he failed to return.

    They found his body lying on the ground surrounded by tigers. The teenager had reportedly been bitten in the neck and was covered in blood.

    Police believe Xu climbed the wall of a partially constructed building used to raise the tigers to relieve himself. They said the smell probably caused the tigers to pounce.

    Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

    Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

    This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

    And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

    Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
