April Fools Day - what a day for Monkey Man

Hello, good evening and welcome as Frosty used to say.
What a day to launch a new blog - April Fools Day - I'm not sure if this is a joke myself!
I'll be endeavouring to find all those weird but true things, wacky pictures and the like from around the world.

The spark for this blog was a picture of Monkey Man we rediscovered recently. This is what is on wikipedia about said chap: "In May 2001, reports began to circulate in the Indian capital New Delhi of a strange monkey-like creature that was appearing at night and attacking people. Eyewitness accounts were often inconsistent, but tended to describe the creature as about four feet (120 cm) tall, covered in thick black hair, with a metal helmet, metal claws, glowing red eyes and three buttons on its chest.

"Theories on the nature of the Monkey Man ranged from an avatar of a Hindu god, to an Indian version of Bigfoot, to a cyborg that could be deactivated by throwing water on the motherboard concealed under fur on its chest.

"Many people reported being scratched, and two (by some reports, three) people even died when they leapt from the tops of buildings or fell down stairwells in a panic caused by what they thought was the attacker.

"At one point, exasperated police even issued artist's impression drawings in an attempt to catch the creature. Many today still believe this "monkey man" continues to haunt the streets."

How comes you never get Cyborg monkey men in Shepley?

Anyway - the best bit is this - the picture - I favour the eyewitness description myself, definitely not based on mass hyesteria
