Naked man jumps into Bronx Zoo reptile pit
 

An apparently emotionally disturbed man stripped naked and jumped into an exhibit with two young caimans at the Bronx Zoo Friday afternoon, police said.

The man, whose name was not released, was intent on interacting with the alligator-like reptiles, reaching for them while sitting on a rock as stunned police officers -- who rushed there from a zoo substation -- looked on.

But before he could make contact with the reptiles a zoo worker slid a plywood board in front of them, preventing the caimans -- each about four feet long -- from reaching the man.

"He was fine physically," one zoo worker said of the man. "Mentally, I'm not so sure."

Zoo workers drained the pool the caimans frolicked in, then Emergency Service Unit officers pulled the man out.

Why is this news? Who doesn't go to zoos and jump into reptile pits nude? Its as American as apple pie.

I prefer to convert lions to Christianity and tempt them to bite my arm.

Classic. What is this, "Jump-in-a-cage-with-a-wild-animal-month?"

I am so glad that this had nothing to do with a fraternity hazing.

Okay, I'm sorry... but this is the funniest thing I've ever read.

"It was not clear how long the man had been in the zoo. He took his clothes off inside the World of Darkness , tossing them to the ground near the caiman exhibit."


LOL - the world of darkness....

I'm sorry I don't know why I think that's so funny.

damn...what's next?
playing cuddles with the lions

I want someone to jump in a cage with the monkeys and throw poo at them! That would be so damn funny!!!!
