Rise of the Machines
It started with the komodo dragon chomping Phil Bronstein's toe. More recently, Roy of Sigfried fame was brutally bit by one of his tigers. And there was the case of the loner who loved camping near bears--until he was mauled to death this month.

Seems to me the world's animals have finally organized-- and are already beginning to revolt.

But animals are only half of the story. The L.A. Times points out a creepy, can't-be-coincidental series of recent auto accidents in Orange County. Three people have been killed when they were pinned by their own vehicles in recent weeks -- puzzling experts, the paper says.

One example:
On Wednesday, a 50-year-old man died after he was run over twice by his 1987 Jaguar, which witnesses said was circling in reverse in a Brea parking lot. Quoc Nguyen of Pomona was chasing the car when it hit him.

You laugh. But once our autos turn against us, we're screwed.
