What a way to ring in the New Year, getting a tattoo to start it off right! Two men in New Mexico were working on a new gun tattoo design, of a .57 Magnum, using a real, loaded gun as a template for the tattoo design. Talk about misguided. The gun went off and they accidentally shot themselves in the process. Oops. The injuries weren't life threatening, hitting one in the hand, the other in the arm.

Pay attention: loaded guns don't make a good template for your tattoo design. Get a picture, will ya?

Sibu the Orangutan doesn't like the orangutan girls he lives with. Sibu, who lives in Amsterdam's Apenheul Primate Park was brought there in hopes that he would breed with the other females. Unfortunately, he has different preferences and other goals. Sibu seems to only be interested in tattooed blondes, tattooed human blondes, that is.  Who said tattoos aren't alluring? Of course, Sibu has good reason to feel sentimental about tattooed ladies- one of his earliest keepers fit the description. An orangutan with a tattoo fetish? Who could have made that up?
