Lucknow: A South Korean tourist has filed a formal complaint against a monkey he says stole his reading glasses during his visit to the Hindu holy city of Varanasi.

Kim Dang Hoon says he opened his hotel room window for fresh air when the monkey made his move.

“He headed straight to the table where my glasses were kept and took it away,” Kim said in the statement.

Part of the frame was recovered by hotel staff and Kim said he filed the report so he could make a damages claim on his travel insurance.

Police combed Varanasi’s alleys searching for the monkey on Tuesday. “It is difficult to trace the monkey but I am trying my best to locate the rogue,” investigating officer inspector Govind Singh said from Varanasi.”

- A 73-year-old Indian farmer who vowed not to marry before passing his high school exams has failed to get through for the 38th time.

Shiv Charan Yadav has been taking the exams — normally given to schoolchildren at the age of 15 — every year since 1969, without success.

He said he found mathematics especially hard, blaming the subject for dragging down his score.

He is now revising for his 39th attempt next year.”

“In a new study, researchers found that the brain appears to prime itself for laughter when it hears someone laughing:

This response occurs in the area of the brain that is activated when we smile, as though preparing our facial muscles to laugh...
Because we usually encounter positive emotions, such as laughter or cheering, in group situations, whether watching a comedy programme with family or a football game with friends,” says [a researcher]. “This response in the brain, automatically priming us to smile or laugh, provides a way of mirroring the behaviour of others, something which helps us interact socially. It could play an important role in building strong bonds between individuals in a group.””
Which is a clear enough explanation for the crazy body contortions that fifty extras perform in sync with the hero of the Hindi film while he sings his love for the heroine
