Business as Usual: Monkey See, Monkey Go
· The first time Oliver the monkey escaped from his locked cage, it might have been dumb luck. The second time, it might have been skill.
But the third time? Seems it might be time for his keepers to invest in new locks.
And that's just what they're doing. Following Oliver's recapture Tuesday -- after his second breakout in less than a month -- triple locks have been installed on his cage at a zoo in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Special Delivery
· The U.S. Postal Service is going to Disney World today to unveil four magical stamps.
The stamps feature Mickey Mouse (as the Sorcerer's Apprentice); Peter Pan and Tinker Bell; Aladdin and Genie; and Dumbo with Timothy Mouse.
Lots of Disney characters have appeared on postage stamps. And did you know that one of Walt Disney's first jobs was sorting and delivering mail in Chicago, Illinois, in 1918?
