The lemurs were given an early Thanksgiving dinner on November 26 at the Hamill Family Play Zoo.  Their "turkey" was formed from browse biscuits and was served along with a sweet potato pie with biscuit crust and popcorn, tasty green beans and a sugar-free grape jelly with dried cranberries, all washed down with sugar-free grape juice.  It looks like they had a great time!

Video: Truck torn apart by two trains in Kazakhstan

A truck driver was unsuccessfully attempting to stop his vehicle on the icy road, just before a rail crossing.  The truck slid towards the crossing and was ripped apart by two trains, coming from opposite directions,  killing the truck driver.

The horrific accident was caught on a CCTV camera, between the "Kondratovka" and "Petropavlovsk" stations on the South Urals Railway.  Initially, the driver was able to avoid a major collision with the first cargo train.  However, it hooked on to his truck and dragged it for several meters, turning the truck around and causing a head on collision with a passenger train coming from the other direction.

Both trains were partially derailed, including four empty freight cars on the cargo train, and three cars of the passenger train.  The truck driver was the only casualty.

This has really got to hurt. In a scene appropriately dubbed by RT as "carnage," a parking garage, containing a bunch of luxury cars went up in flames early this morning.  

The approximate worth of these beauties, which included Rolls Royces, Mercedes Benz and Bentleys, was $3.3 million and apparently they might all belong to the same person.
