A Caption Contest With Commentary

Jim Lynch July 14th, 2008 7:18 am

The winners of last week’s contest have been announced, which means it’s time for a new contest. But first a little commentary on the original caption for this photo:

In this undated photo, Ram Singh Munda, 35, rides a bicycle with his pet sloth bear Rani in Gahatagaon village, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) north of Bhubaneswar, India. When wildlife officials learned of Munda, who brought the orphaned bear cub home from the forests of eastern India, where it became part of the family, he was arrested and jailed for violating wildlife laws, the bear was sent to a zoo where it’s refusing to eat and his abandoned six-year-old daughter has been shipped off to a state-run boarding school. (AP Photo)

My question is, why has the bears’ six-year-old daughter “been shipped off to a state-run boarding school”?

    India’s bicycle version of The Trunk Monkey is released and is demonstrated by Billy Dee Williams.

    (In the smaller version of that picture, the dude resembles Billy Dee Williams back in his younger days to me anyway)
