World's Cutest Tragedy

CNN is shocked and horrified that Linda Farrow, a straight-A's Harvard student and president of the Harvard Historical Re-Enactment Society, has gone crazy. Me, not so much. I know how much academic pressure there is at Ivy League schools, and really, everyone lost the right to be shocked at supervillains coming out of Harvard back in the 70's when the Anarchy Society graduated. I am, however, impressed by Ms. Farrow's creativity. I know it's a devastating blow to the Stone Zoo captive breeding program, but you have to admit that it's great for tourism. I bet ticket sales have quadrupled, and maintenance costs are much lower. Imagine what they'll save in habitat alone. I would love to see a herd of pony-sized elephants, and I'm contemplating flying to Massachusetts just to see the tiny tiger. I have no idea how (or what) they're going to feed the anteaters now, though. I guess they could borrow the shrink ray from the evidence lockup and use it on some anthills, though I doubt the ants would still be visible to the naked eye.
I feel really sorry for Farrow's unfortunately-named (ex?)boyfriend Richard Biggers. It's going to be rough going through life at four and a half inches tall. He's too small to even use Barbie furniture. I hope they find a way to reverse that.
