A camel broke free from its farm in Saudi Arabia and ran amok through the streets, damaging cars and sending frightened people into their homes.
The camel chased passers by and smashed car windows as it kept running astray through the streets of the western town of Taif.
Its owner chased and tried to stop the animal but could not and the situation was quickly reversed when the owner was himself chased by the camel.
“Car started to honk and this made the camel more mad…after wreaking havoc, the camel ran out of the streets and disappeared,” the Arabic language Al-Taif newspaper said, without mentioning if the camel was captured later.

Nothing is madder than a jilted camel.

It must have been spending too much time reading the Koran.

Where is your RPG when you really need it?

How to make a camel disappear. Remarkable. I went to the camel market in Cairo. You really need scratch-and-sniff pictures to appreciate the scene. Camels are nasty.

Muzzie insanity can infect their camels? Who knew?

Insults like that probably made that poor beast go mad.

A camel costs 3 wives in these places... Peta would love it. An angry Camel for a Camel humper is something that brings upsets and tears while bestowing respect...

Hey, Achmed - when the camel says NO - that means NO.

Camel kills 100-year-old man in Saudi Mad camel chews parts of the old man's body By Staff Published Friday, December 03, 2010 A mad camel attacked and killed its 100-year-old Saudi owner after biting off parts of his head and body, Kabar newspaper reported on Friday. The man was inspecting his camel herd in a village on the Gulf Kingdom’s western coast when the female camel went berserk and attacked him, it said. “It bit off part of his head and hands…when his relatives later came to look for him, they found him lying on the ground with heavy bleeding,” the paper said. “They found that the camel had also eaten parts of his body…they tried to take him to hospital but he was already dead.”

Years ago, I was at the Islamic Port of Jeddah. A ship had recently arrived and was offloading its cargo: herds of camels from Somalia. Talk about “coals to Newcastle.”

Apparently there are things that even a camel won't do.
To: nickcarraway
This is surely a sign from Allah. Follow the camel.
