MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. – MacGyver’s got nothing on this monkey.

A spider monkey new to the city’s Washington Park Zoo used a garden hose to scale the walls of a moat and make a break for freedom.

Workers were cleaning the moat at the time Wednesday. Zoo Director Johnny Martinez says workers had figured the monkeys would remain inside their enclosure during the cleaning even though the moat was empty of water.

However, one monkey made it past the moat, grabbed the hose and jumped onto the roof of a water filtration plant.

The zoo staff recaptured the adventurous monkey at a nearby boat dealership, where they found it perched atop a white and blue speedboat.

Martinez says the freedom-seeking monkey is sociable and was not any danger to people.

Illinois man changes name to ‘In God We Trust’

ZION, Ill. – A school bus driver and artist from the Chicago suburb has legally changed his name to “In God We Trust.”

A Lake County circuit court judge approved Steve Kreuscher’s name change petition on Friday.

The 57-year-old’s first name was changed to “In God,” while his last name was changed to “We Trust.”

He says the new name symbolizes the help God gave him during tough times and says he can’t wait to begin signing his artwork with the new moniker.
