The Republic of Georgia mobilized its Special Forces to deal with dozens of zoo animals that got loose from the Zoo during a massive, killer flood – including Lions, Tigers, Bears (don’t say it), Wolves, and Crocodiles.  At least one Hippopotamus was slowly walked back to the zoo after being shot with a tranquilizer dart, to calm its enormous nerves I guess.  Hippos are not to be laughed at; they cause the most human deaths of any animal in Africa.  Many animals were tragically found dead, and zoo workers are concerned that cops and soldiers overstepped their boundaries and shot the creatures on site.

The flooding caused widespread devastation in Tbilisi, leaving thick mud and muck in its wake.  Infrastructure is heavily damaged, and at least twelve people are dead with two-dozen more missing.  And in the latter case, authorities aren’t clear if that’s because of the flooding or the wild animals.  Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili announced the nation would hold a day of mourning on Monday.

There is pushback to the sketchy London Sunday Times report that quoted anonymous UK government officials to say that Edward Snowden’s leaks were much more damaging than initially reported.  On The Intercept, Glenn Greenwald – one of the journalists who first reported on Snowden – tore the Times to pieces, noting that not only did no source go on the record, but not one shred of evidence was offered to back up the story.  Greenwald’s former employer The Guardian, where he broke the Snowden story, notes that the Times story comes right after a major US court ruling that backed up Snowden’s complaints of domestic spying, and before the UK government’s attempt to build a legal framework for continuing it.

Thought dead and frozen, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) comet lander Philae has woken up and contacted earth.  The first spacecraft to land on a comet touched down in November, but did so in a crevasse that blocked its solar batteries from charging up.  Back then, it worked for 60 hours and than went dark.  Philae is carrying large amounts of data that scientists hoped to download once it made contact again.

The Foo Fighters have cancelled some European dates after leader Dave Grohl fell off a stage in Gothenburg, Sweden, breaking his leg.  He managed to finish that gig from a wheelchair, but upcoming shows at Wembley and Glastonbury are up in the air.
