A leopard in underwear

This story reminds me of Groucho Marx (why, after the excerpt):
A man clad only in underwear and a T-shirt wrestled a wild leopard to the floor and pinned it for 20 minutes after the cat leapt through a window of his home and hopped into bed with his sleeping family.
“This kind of thing doesn’t happen every day,” said 49-year-old Arthur Du Mosch, a nature guide. “I don’t know why I did it. I wasn’t thinking; I just acted.”
Now … the Groucho Marx quip:
Last night I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas, I’ll never know!
That’s why I immediately pictured the leopard in underwear. Groucho Marx was one of the funniest men who ever lived, and he was also a dog-lover, did you know? Enjoy more Groucho-isms here.

Where did this happen? Should I be on the lookout for a leopard jumping in my bedroom window?

BTW: Groucho is great; long live the memory of Groucho!!!

Gina, I am having techno problems, new threads are not always showing up for me. The last two I have up are the “News From China: Drug regulator sentanced to death” and “Menu Foods not talking to customers.” All others over the last few days I can only access from the recent comments on the right side of screen. I got here that way. Any idea on how to fix this? It just started on friday. Thanks.

Added the link to the leopard story. :)
As for the tech issues … it always seems to come down to Internet Explorer v. 6. We chase and kill every bug we find, but IE 6 has more and more.
Upgrade to IE7 or switch to Firefox. That seems to take care of the problems.

These are the last few threads I have up:
News From China…..

Melamine found in corn gluten…..
House Panel theatens FDA…….
It’s in the melamine, stupid……
Unless it’s in recent comments or recent posts I wouldn’t even know it was there.

I have no problem connecting to PC with my new Sony and I did not get the new windows version - too many bugs to work out.
