Zookeepers in Arkansas should have let an escaped chimp continue her housekeeping work before knocking her out.
Judy began expertly cleaning the toilet in a service area of the Little Rock Zoo after getting free from her cage.
"Her technique was good enough to make me think she must have done it before," said primate keeper Ann Rademacher.
In fact, Judy had been a pet before coming to the zoo and probably learned domestic duties then.

A special sale of a video game led to a nerd melee outside a German store.
Three geeks got "pwned" - techie lingo for beaten badly - and were hospitalized after store windows were shattered and furniture busted in the rampage at a shop in Cologne.
The fracas broke out after the store ran out of "World of Warcraft."

A sleepy Chinese newsstand owner has come up with a novel solution - an alarm duck.
Every time the man dozes off, the duck quacks to wake him up. It also stands on a chair, takes money from customers and "hands" them newspapers and magazines.
The man, whose newsstand is in the southern city of Guangzhou, says he has trained the bird since it hatched.
