Attacked for water by baboons - I'm grateful for my life

http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science/04/22/kenya.baboons.reut/index.html

Whatever problems I have, they are trivial compared to this. I can’t begin to fathom how much it would suck to walk 14 miles roundtrip for some water.

Getting attacked by 30 baboons on the way back would also dampen my day.

Be grateful, be very grateful.

Sheesh! Now I have TWO reasons to never drink water.

(1) Fish copulate in it.
(2) Baboons will jack ya for it.

Rough stuff. The moral: Drink more beer! :slight_smile:

Pssst … IDB … beer is made from water.

We’re all screwed.

Man, I was kinda hoping that you were the girl in the story…not because I wish for you to be attacked by baboons, but because I think that it would be cool to say: "I know this chick who was attacked by baboons!

I opened this thread to find out how someone could almost die from being attacked by water balloons.

You gotta freeze dem ballons first before you drop 'em on someone’s head.

It would only be cool if she were on holiday. Not cool if it’s a hazard you face when you have to collect water for your family instead of going to school.

Please for the love of god don’t tell this to the baboons at work.

We have REFRIDGERATED water fountains in the lab complex.

Keep them seperated too, the attacking baboons numbered about 30.
