A zoo has been borrowing a racetrack to exercise its cheetahs. Houston Zoo does not have room for its two big cats to reach their maximum 65mph speed and so uses the nearby Sam Houston Race Park. The two animals - named Kito and Kiburi - need to have regular bouts of exercise in order to burn off metabolic compounds. Zoo curator Beth Schaefer said: "They need about 600 feet.

A joke should have the perfection of a haiku. Not one extra word. No wrong words. It should seem to have been discovered in its absolute form rather than created. The weight of the meaning should be at the end. The earlier words should prepare for the shift of the meaning. The ending must have absolute finality. It should present a world view only revealed at the last moment. Like knife-throwing, joke-telling should never be practiced except by experts.

The expert knows not to betray the slightest emotion. The expert is reciting a fact. There...

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: A year ago I saw a very good gay short film called Bugcrush and I fell in love with Donald Cumming, the bad boy bug enthusiast from the film. Cumming is the lead singer is a great band called the Virgins. You gotta let me know if he is queer or not. – Darius, Birmingham, UK
A: I love the Virgins! If you’re not familiar with them, take a listen:
Cumming is definitely adorable. Alas, he is also straight, most recently linked with Peaches Geldof, the daughter of Bob Geldof and a U.K. socialite and reality TV star.
