       <title>Monkey Madness</title>

       <description>&lt;p&gt;How many police does it take to catch a monkey in one of Tokyo&amp;rsquo;s busiest train
 stations? Apparently a lot more than the &lt;a href=&#34;https://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=1LbhEJ2NUxE&#34;&gt;40 or so that
 tried&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;The monkey was first spotted around 9:45am on top of the Tokyu Toyoko Line
 schedule display, possibly one of the best choices for people-watching in
 Shibuya Station, strategically positions between the exit of the Tokyu
 department store and the entrance to one of Tokyo&amp;rsquo;s busiest train lines.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;It hung around for close to two hours while commuters, shoppers, news crews and
 a posse of net-wielding cops showed up, before finally deciding to
 &lt;a href=&#34;https://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=AKFh-Wc7KSE&#34;&gt;make a break for it&lt;/a&gt;. Police never did catch the cheeky
 monkey, and its current whereabouts are unknown.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;Apparently this is the third incident of a monkey getting into a train station
 in Tokyo in the last few weeks.&lt;/p&gt;

       <description>&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;rsquo;t let anyone tell you that Canada never contributed groundbreaking research
 to the medical field. First, the discovery and isolation of insulin by
 researchers at the University of Toronto; now &lt;a href=&#34;http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/325/7378/1445&#34; title=&#34;Ice cream evoked headaches: randomised trial of accelerated versus cautious ice cream eating regimen&#34;&gt;this paper&lt;/a&gt; published in the
 British Medical Journal, co-authored by a Grade 8 student from Hamilton,
 Ontario.&lt;/p&gt;

       <title>Huh?</title>

       <description>&lt;p&gt;As I stared blankly out the window of the train on my morning commute,
 something caught my eye. As the train flew along its raised track, whizzing
 past the rooftops of Gakugei-daigaku at 80 km/h, I swear I saw a guy
 standing on the roof of a building alongside the track, dressed in a red cape
 and wearing a giant fish on his head, wailing away on a guitar.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;He was gone from my view before I was able to catch a second glance, though.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Update (2008-03-20):&lt;/em&gt; I’m glad he’s &lt;a href=&#34;http://jiyugaoka.keizai.biz/headline/171/&#34;&gt;not just a figment of my imagination&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Update (2011-04-27):&lt;/em&gt; Found a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DbvxgmEAtE&#34;&gt;YouTube video&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
