MADISON, Wis. --Authorities captured a diaper-wearing monkey who led them on a downtown search after biting a woman.

<snip>

The woman was walking by State Street Brats, a popular nightclub, where a man had the monkey on a leash inside its beer garden. People walking by were petting the monkey, who was wearing a white diaper.

Police issued a warning to the public of the foot-tall monkey with a long prehensile tail: "It is now on the lam, presumably still in the State Street area."

About seven hours later, the monkey was captured and taken into custody downtown to be quarantined for 10 days, police said.

2. JASPER!?!?!

There was a monkey running loose in Green Bay a few years ago. It was the subject of the running joke in the lounge.
