The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides
being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or
funny.
LOS ANGELES TIMES, October 8:
One of the passengers in a Soviet spacecraft is fooling around with
the equipment, and his monkeyshines may end the flight prematurely.
The passenger is in fact a monkey named Yarosha -- Russian slang for
village troublemaker. Evidently bored on the fifth day of a scheduled
12-day flight, Yarosha slipped out of his harness and took a tour of
the spacecraft. Tass, the Soviet news agency, reported that Yarosha
was having a delightful time tampering with all of the equipment
within reach. Watch out, Yarosha; if you break something, they'll
probably dock your flight pay.
