ZOO GORILLA TOSSES ROCK, HITS MAN

A gorilla at the at Nanning Zoo in China hurled a stone into the crowd, striking a man on the head. The gorilla, called Diunaxing, is known for playfully tossing flowers and turf at visitors. But this time he picked up a grapefruit-sized stone and began running around his enclosure with it. Then he chucked it at the crowd, hitting a man. The injured visitor was treated and returned to his hotel. The origin of the rock remains a mystery.
* Yes, quite the mystery. The sky? Did a bird leave it? Did he order a rock from Amazon? Quite the mystery.
* Could have been worse. Could have been gorilla poop.
* Maybe he somehow got to see one of those Planet of the Apes movies.
* This is the worst tie-in to that “100 unarmed men fighting a gorilla” thing I’ve ever heard.
* On an up note, the gorilla has just been added to the Oakland A’s pitching rotation.
