    For the past week or so, a monkey nicknamed “George” has visited the Kalidas municipal swimming pool in Mumbai, India, showing up at around 7am to swim for about an hour or so. It created a bit of a stir at first, kids jumping out of the pool and stuff, but it doesn’t bother the other swimmers, so members are starting to grow fond of it. It will have to go though, see Mumbai Mirror via Nothing to do with Arbroath

    “We have informed the forest department, and they will take care of the monkey,” said the pool supervisor, Milind Bhingarde, told Mirror.

    “Swimmers ear is an infection of your ear canal. Not using q tips and keeping your ear canal dry can help prevent these infections. Do not put things in your delicate ear canal that will strip out the protective wax.”
