Zoo Chimp Flings Crap At Visitors
March 10, 2009. Furuvik, Sweden.
No, not that kind of crap. "Zoo minders have uncovered hundreds of stone caches being used by the chimp to hoard ammunition to hurl at visitors. ... He also managed to break lumps of concrete into manageable sized missiles by checking for their weak points."

Coyote Attacks In Broomfield
February 24, 2009. Broomfield, Colorado.
Man walking his dog. Dog sees coyote and chases. That coyote was a decoy -- with the dog distracted, another coyote ambushed the man and bit his arm.
This follows a January 15 coyote attack, also in Broomfield. Oddly enough, a dog was involved that time as well.

Carp Breaks Teenager's Jaw
September 8, 2008. Lake Chicot, Arkansas.
Kid on an inner tube tow; Asian Silver carp jumps out of the water and busts his jaw. Ouch. Yikes.
While researching this story, I discovered that bowhunting carp is now a popular sport. Sounds a little primitive, but whatever works.
