Cage's naked intruder sent to rehab
The naked intruder that Nicolas Cage found in his home last year has been ordered to undergo six months of drug rehab, according to officials. Robert Dennis Furo, pleaded guilty to one count of stalking during a court appearance just outside of Los Angeles. A judge dropped two charges against the 46-year-old and gave credit for time already served. Cage and his family were at their waterfront home in the exclusive, gated community of Newport Beach on October 1 when Furo entered the house. The National Treasure star found Furo standing near a bathroom wearing nothing but one of his leather jackets. The Oscar-winning actor confronted him, asked him to remove the jacket, escorted him outside, and called a security guard. Furo's lawyer, Jack Kayajanian, said his client was in a stupor caused by sleeping pills and the prescription pain killer Vicodin.
Shooting the Rapids
There are two groups of chimps, one a young group in a large paddock, the other a mature group that lives in an area of fenced off native forest. Truly wild chimpanzees can be seen in western Uganda (I have seen them just across the border in the Congo —the Democratic Republic of the two), but for a more easily accessible primate experience this comes pretty close. Access to Ngamba is by a large wooden canoe, and the morning of my visit Lake Victoria was deciding to do a passable impression of the Roaring Forties. The boat tossed up and down, launching itself over crests and plunging into troughs. Those of a more sensitive disposition, and more recent breakfasts, slunk, a delicate shade of green, to the marginally more stable rear where a bucket was thoughtfully provided. The chimp experience was slightly underwhelming, but the work being done is admirable.
