Panda, Man, Bite Each Other, Remain Friends
September 26, 2006 at 10:45 AM | 0 Comments
Take one Chinese guy, four jugs of beer, a zoo animal (say, for the sake of local custom, a big panda), and a desire for affection. What do you get? A panda who bites a man and a man who bites the panda back.
Sounds like a weird story. We previewed it last week and can't help ourselves: We have to delve deeper. In the Beijing Zoo an otherwise normal man named Zhang Xinyan decided giving 7-year-old panda Gu Gu a cuddle was a high priority. Entrance to the panda section incurs an extra fee compared to the rest of the zoo, so clearly not just any animal would do for this moment of affection. Zoo officials eventually used a hose to release the two cuddling biters from each other's jaws and reports say that both human and panda have made a good recovery.

So where did we leave off? Oh, yes: the teams are tearing through China, screaming at natives almost as much as they're screaming at each other. Sarah--well, her artificial leg--was leaking hydraulic fluid. Apparently, "it's like riding with a flat tire." Duke connected a bit with his lesbian daughter even though he "can accept gays and lesbians, but when it's your own daughter..." Rob and Kimberly are still trying to figure out if they're meant to be, and earning our preliminary CuJo award for the team most likely to have a scandalous meltdown.

The Amazing Race 10 got off to a rip-roaring start last night. A woman with an artificial leg, a climb up the Great Wall, a bunch of hot blondes and two Korean body builders skipped over the Pacific, on the usual quest to win $1 million. So what's new? In-race eliminations and what looks to be a small, yet failed attempt to join the ranks of the "Survivor Ethnic Diversity Edition". The run-down, after the jump.
