Go Back to the Planet of the Apes — Again
It seems like we just can’t get away from those damned dirty apes — not that a lot of us actually want to! Now BOOM Studios is premiering a brand-new Planet of the Apes full-color comic book series this April, written by Daryl Gregory (an award-winning novelist) and illustrated by Carlos Magno. The story this time takes place prior to the original 1968 Planet of the Apes movie, a time when humans and apes have formed an unsteady truce — very unsteady, it seems. Ape Central.net (a division of ComicBookMovie.com) has the story, as well as links to the brand new Planet of the Apes movie Ceasar: Rise of the Apes, starring James Franco and directed by Rupert Wyatt. Recently the film’s premier was moved back from this summer to this coming Thanksgiving.

Michigan man jailed for wolf hunting
Author: ringtailedfox
A Michigan man has been sentenced by the St. Ignace District Court to serve a year in jail – with a mandatory 90 days in prison – and pay US$ 5090 in restitution and fines, after having been found guilty of shooting three wolves.
58-year-old William Hayward of Bay City, MI plead guilty to shooting three wolves in Mackinac County, and destroying tracking collars that two of the wolves wore. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment is investigating separate wolf poachings in Chippewa and Luce counties, also in the eastern portion of the Upper Peninsula.

Fchan.us domain name curiously unresolvable
Author: GreenReaper
Popular furry imageboard fchan has dropped off the net after an update which saw it removed from the domain name system last night. [tip: Rakuen Growlithe]
The domain fchan.us appears to be in “serverHold” status, suggesting a removal due to financial, legal, or operational reasons. It does not appear to have expired.
The server is online, and Windows users can add: 206.217.201.12 fchan.us to their hosts file in Windows\System32\drivers\etc to temporarily enable access.
Update: Site administrator Xenofur says the registrar messed up the nameserver configuration; fchan.hentaifor.me will work until they finish moving.

Fox found in London’s Shard skyscraper
Author: GreenReaper
While most animals prefer a ground-level existence, it appears some foxes enjoy the high life. Animal control experts disapprove, as the BBC reports:
We explained to him that if foxes were meant to be 72 storeys off the ground, they would have evolved wings
Construction of the Shard is scheduled for completion before the 2012 Olympics. When finished, it will be the tallest building in the European Union.

Get Shareaholic Link to this post!Hood vs. Evil
One of the box-office surprises of 2005 was a little film called Hoodwinked — the first independently produced CGI film, which went on to make a rather tidy little profit. Talk began almost immediately about sequel for the film — and now, that sequel is coming to theaters on April 29th. Hoodwinked introduced us to Little Red Riding Hood, her rather resourceful (and butt-kicking) Granny, and a big-but-not-so-bad Wolf. All three of them return in the new film, Hoodwinked Too: Hood vs. Evil. They’re joining up with an outfit known as the Happily Ever-after Agency (HEA) on a mission to save Hansel and Gretel from a wicked witch. Some things have changed — Hayden Panettiere (Alpha and Omega) replaces Anne Hathaway as the voice of Red, and the director this time is Mike Disa, previously known as a director of video short films. But once again we have Patrick Warburton as the Wolf, Glenn Close as Granny, and David Ogden Stiers as the frog Nicky Flippers, head of HEA. You can view the current trailer for the film on YouTube here.
Discussion of yoai/gay comics (some furry content)
Good luck wading through all that. Not for those who must have a "tl;dr" version.
Anyway, as the byline indicates, the article is by Michael Arthur, who'll be at Anthrocon this year.
