Monkey waste dump tangles traffic (Shrub in Milwaukee?)

http://www.jsonline.com/news/metro/may04/226970.asp

Some monkey business tied up traffic at midday today at Milwaukee's Zoo Interchange.

A truck carrying monkey waste and algae from the Milwaukee County Zoo spilled its contents, closing eastbound I-94 and southbound U.S. 45/I-894, officials said.

Kim Brooks, a spokeswoman for the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department, said the incident took place about 10:45 a.m., but specific details of what happened were not immediately available.

"It's one of those things," she said. "You certainly don't want to be in the deputy's place" investigating the matter.

4. Monkey waste and algae?

It's possible, just possible, that the smell from that briefly overwhelmed the lovely rendering-and-yeast-plant smell from the river valley. Or maybe it just added a highlight to the stench for a few moments.

5. LOL

Just like the Chimp's bus tour is snarling light plane traffic for the FAA.

I need to take 94 west home today. Hope it's cleaned up by then.

On edit: West. I drive west. Duh.
