Officials at the Antwerp Zoo are asking visitors not to interact with one of their animals, a male chimpanzee named Cheetah. Because Cheetah was raised by humans, he bonds more with people than with his own species and, as a zookeeper noted, “we’ve seen how well that works out.”

A nude photo of supermodel Kate Moss is being auctioned off next month. It’s expected to fetch over $30,000. You know what that means? That Moss’ dentist is sitting on a goldmine.

A group of English investors has unveiled a theme park based on the works of Charles Dickens. Admission is free, but you have to work your way out.

The $125 million attraction features Dickens-themed exhibits, animatronics, even a family style restaurant. The owners are especially proud that Dickens World is 100% carbon neutral. Said one, “All the power we need is generated by the author spinning in his grave.”
