Audience anxiety in the wake of the Aurora massacre came to a head at a West Homestead, Pennsylvania movie theater where a crowd watching "The Dark Knight Rises" Sunday night made a panicked dash for the emergency exits when a fight broke out in the theater. An
emergency dispatch supervisor said a 911 call came from the theater around 6:15
p.m. One witness said he doubted moviegoers would have reacted the same way if
news of the Colorado shooting wasn't so fresh in their minds. Homestead police
Chief Jeffrey DeSimone, whose officers were called in to provide crowd control,
said it's possible that moviegoers were extra jumpy because of the Colorado
attack, but the reality is that tragedies can strike anywhere. Talking about the
incident, movie-goer Dionne Okafor said, "After what happened, it makes it a
little more frightening. It's always in the back of your mind." (Pittsburgh

Oh Planet of the Apes Will Happen! It's Just a Matter of
Time!
Scientists from Lund University's Primate Research Station in
Sweden announced that they had evidence that chimpanzees are able to delay using
weapons they encounter, hide them and retrieve them later for use against
"foes," thus confirming the inevitable takeover of our world which will one day
become the planet of the apes! In this case, the weapons were stones and chunks
of concrete the apes had collected, and the foes were visitors to the zoo who
annoyed the chimps. According to the researchers, the 33-year-old chimp Santino
took pains to hide the weapons in locations where they could be accessed easily
for the element of surprise against the visitors. In the movie, his name was
Caesar! Better start brushing up on your best, "Get your hands off him you damn
dirty ape!" (Live Science)
