“Pssst. Guys. This Way.”

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

A giraffe masterminds a circus animal jailbreak in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam police say 15 camels, two zebras and an undetermined number of llamas and potbellied swine briefly escaped from a traveling Dutch circus after a giraffe kicked a hole in their cage.

Police spokesman Arnout Aben says the animals wandered in a group through a nearby neighborhood for several hours after their 5:30 a.m. breakout.

“You have to imagine somebody rubbing his eyes first thing in the morning and saying, ‘Am I seeing things or is that 15 camels walking past?’”

Pixar’s negotiating with the giraffe for movie rights.

    Sounds more like a DreamWorks project to me…

    My favorite part of this story is “undetermined number of llamas.” Are they that hard to count?

    Maybe they were Salvador Dali Llamas with a zen like ability to appear to be melting. I could see how this would confuse the orderly and narrow Dutch minds.

    Yes, they are that hard to count. You see, they’re related to sheep and the counters keep on falling asleep.
