Working from home never looked better: Leopard stalks around Infosys and TCS campuses Indian forestry authorities have laid traps for a leopard that was spotted prowling near campuses used by tech services giants Infosys and TCS. The beast was spotted yesterday in the Indore Super Corridor, a zone that boasts it “has been rated as the best destination to spend your entire life living in your dream home” as it …
In all my years of consulting work, I've never had to worry about being attacked by a leopard making my way from the parking lot into the office!
The Leopards Eating People's Faces Party will fix that for you. Vote for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party in the coming election!
[Damn, no big cat icon.]
Many years ago, all the employees in Education City, Doha, received an SMS message, warning them to stay inside the buildings as there was a tiger on the loose on the campus.
Some hours later, the all-clear was given.
Some further hours later, another SMS came, apologising for the fact that the original SMS was delayed by ONE DAY because the local telco assumed that it was spam, given the sheer volume of identical messages that arrived at the one time.
So yes, there was a tiger on the loose on the campus for a full day and no one knew!
A sharkproof suit apparently is a thing Neptunic Sharkproof Suit?
If it works against a decent sized shark's dentition (which I doubt) it should protect against the unwanted attention of Tiddles the leopard - not as though a leopard is 900kg tiger.

Since it has a bite force of 621.1 Newton I think you'd be better off with kevlar-backed full plate.. (11th highest bite force in the animal kingdom apparently).
(Plus, the teeth would go though the chain mail links and then split them apart unless they were proper riveted links. Which are by no means cheap).
And, unlike most cats, leopards are happy to eat meat that isn't fresh so even rolling in a week-old dead skunk won't save you!
A chance to revisit one of the all time great cartoons: 'Fortunately, I was wearing my armour.'
True story - a couple of years ago my uncle was in his garden and came across a cheetah. Carefully backed away, got inside and called the police. A few urgent enquiries later, it turns out the cheetah was being kept as a pet by someone in the neighborhood and it had decided to go walkies!
I'm sure that he could be put to good use among the beancounters
Hello chaps, meet our new Morale Officer, name of Panthera Pardus. He's *very* keen to personally interview slackers..
He has a very... interactive technique. He's always happy with the results.
