It all started on May 18th when a gorilla named Bokito escaped from the Rotterdam Zoo. It was during his daring escape that the animal attacked a female visitor, because he didn’t much care for the way her shifty eyes looked at him. Humans in charge decided that the woman’s direct eye contact led to the attack, since gorillas aren’t down with that. That’s when health insurance company FBTO stepped in and offered a solution that makes everyone look like a dork. [via]

That’s one great safety tip that could save your life – never make eye contact with a gorilla. Another great safety tip (courtesy of Diary of Daedalus) is
NEVER GO TO THE DONKEY SHOW.
