There was a story a few years ago about how a mountain lion (they never call them "cougars" in Salt Lake City) had made its way down from the hills and started wandering around the campus at the University of Utah. By the time animal control officers captured the cat later that afternoon, it had racked up $20,000 in student loan debt.

At my college, it was said that a man-eating tiger once escaped there...but subsequently died of starvation.

Heard on the BBC that scientists have used lasers to trigger and draw lightning strikes. The reporter from Nature spoke of it as a sort of improved lightning rod to protect especially vulnerable facilities, such as rocket launch sites. No mention of stealing the weapon of the gods from their own hands, but still: lasers, to control lightning. Someone, somewhere, is going "Muah ha ha ha!"

 

I can't seem to find a BBC site for the report, but found this story directly from Nature itself.
