Pandas and Cicadas and Monkey Poo!

In today's news from WTOPnews.com

Since love wasn't enough, humans have stepped in to help. There may be a little panda on the way!

Apparently the Strathmore Arts Center in Rockville will be welcoming the 17-year brood with all due pomp and circumstance.

Monkey poo! What else needs be said?

Supposedly, believe it or not, Disney's Animal Kingdom was the first to manage to not only get their female elephants trained for such procedures, but also the first to get a pregnant elephant from the process. Never did remember to find out if she managed to carry to term or not...

And isn't it rather amusing that the salute to Brood X is planned for a month after they should be gone *and* just in time to welcome the Dog Day cicadas (the yearly ones) to the area?
