The southwestern Missouri resident complains that the 26 monkeys his neighbor keeps on her property are a real nuisance -- and a safety hazard to boot. Earlier this month one of the primates -- a child-sized rhesus macaque -- escaped and made its way onto Nigliazzo's back porch.

"When I knocked on the window, he lunged at me and the window," Nigliazzo tells the Springfield News-Leader. "They're nasty critters."

Great story, my favorite part is:


That's because Rose claims she suffers a debilitating anxiety order that's only appeased by the presence of monkeys. And -- it gets weirder -- she's suing Wal-Mart and the county health department in federal court for the right to take her favorite monkey with her on errands and grocery trips.

Hey, I'm not creative enough to make this stuff up.

Two words: Ding. Bat.

Oh, wait, that's one word.

Thanks, Tekla. I needed this.

WalMart are discriminating against her for not being able to take her monkey shopping, and for not giving her a toilet of her very own for women with monkeys.

Brilliance..
