NAIROBI, Kenya –– Thirsty monkeys in drought-affected eastern Kenya stoned to death a herder watering his livestock, a local newspaper reported Thursday.
Ali Adam Hussein and other herdsmen had stopped to water their cattle at a pool in the northeastern Wajir district on Saturday when a group of wild monkeys attacked them with stones, the independent daily East African Standard said.
Hussein died from severe head injuries after he was transferred to a dispensary in Ajawa, the newspaper quoted Abdi Gosho, a nurse in the village, as saying.
Attempts to confirm the story were unsuccessful. Police in Wajir, contacted by telephone from the Kenyan capital Nairobi, had no information about the alleged incident.
The report did not specify what kind of monkey carried out the purported attack. Baboons have been known to throw objects at rivals.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not but it's funny just the same. ::rofl
