OT (sort of): India, Monkeys & Illwinter
 
So, what exactly was Johan K doing in India last summer? Trying toi recruit an army of Bandar to take over, or training them?

Quote:
Monkeys kill Delhi deputy mayor
The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi died on Sunday after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys.

SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.

The city has long struggled to counter its plague of monkeys, which invade government complexes and temples, snatch food and scare passers-by.

The High Court demanded the city find an answer to the problem last year.

Solution elusive

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

The city has also employed monkey catchers to round them up so they can be moved to forests.

But the problem has persisted.

Culling is seen as unacceptable to devout Hindus, who revere the monkeys as a manifestation of the monkey god Hanuman, and often feed them bananas and peanuts.

Urban development around the city has also been blamed for destroying the monkeys' natural habitat.

Mr Bajwa, a member of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is survived by his wife and a son, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.

This is going to end fantastically well. Once they introduce tigers to kill the new monkeys.
It won't be long until someone unleases a massive genetically engineered Python into the streets to kill off the killer-apes who have sinced begun riding tigers around.
It's a good thing I'd managed to finish my lunch just before I read that, choking to death while laughing wouldn't have been pleasant...

Damn, that's just too many *coincedences* for me. Johan K is trying to take over the world! Monkey army, why didn't I think of that?

I wonder how Johan K will take over his home country Sweden, since Monkeys can't survive the Skandinavian climate. I need to check if the Moose have been more agressive lately..

Crossbreeding, obviously.

In addition to being cold-tolerant, your star spawn-maccaque hybrid can also enter the sea.

Älg tog sig in på Telias kontor
Av IT 24 |

Det blev stor uppståndelse när en älg tog sig in i Telias lokaler i centrala Örebro på fredagen. Den fullvuxna älgen hoppade in genom en fönsterruta. Personalen flydde i skräck därifrån. Det skriver TT.

Free translation by me:

Moose entered Telia office

There was great comotion as a moose entered the Telia office in central Örebro this friday. The full grown moose entered by jumping through a window. The employees fled in panic. This according to TT.

Telia is the swedish company in charge of/owning the telephone network, broad band stuff, etc; a remnant of the ministry 'televerket', when telephones were part of the public service.

All major attacks begin with systematic cutting of lines of communication. Telia is just step one of phase one.

It looks to me like JK spent a bit too much time in India. While the target choise of the Moose attack is indeed ominous, as Sombre says, the actual results appear to be somewhat limited.

Still, I have no doubts that if some more time is spent on training we will soon see invincible meese armies galopping through various strategic targets in Scandinavia.

Time of the invasion draws nigh! We must prepare ourselves for the inevitable onslaught.

!!!!

Did it penetrate your skin? Was there any blood? Did you contact the virus?!

If you get bitten by one of them, you will become one of them!

There's only way to be sure..

Remember to use silver pellets - it's best to be sure.
