happythoughts 0 #1 July 22, 2004 clicky QuoteA monkey at an Israeli zoo started walking like a human after recovering from a serious illness. Natasha, a five-year-old macaque at the Safari Park, near Tel Aviv, now walks exlcusively on her hind legs. She almost died of a severe stomach flu but suddenly stabilised and was released from the zoo's clinic. Workers at the zoo say that's when she started walking upright exclusively, reports CBC News. Monkeys usually alternate between upright walking and moving on all fours. A zoo veterinarian says he's not sure why she has altered her behaviour but says the illness could have caused brain damage. Other than walking upright, the vet says Natasha's behaviour has returned to normal. When an ape starts acting like people, the vet thinks it is brain damage? There's something to ponder. I looked at the pic. Let's not have any Janet Reno jokes. Of course, if she's going to strut around on 2 legs, a blue dress and some glasses may help her general appearance. I'd bet if she walked into the Crystal, some drunk redneck would try to pick her up while recommended a wax job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago, there was a contractor who worked for a company for years and then demanded to be recognized as an employee for benefits. He won the suit. Since then, companies will put a 2 or 3 year limit on contractors. You get somebody for 2 years. The first 5 months is monkey-time where you teach them, pull lever "A" to receive a banana. Then you get 18 months of productivity. Then they're gone and...new monkey.

As I read in another thread it will even take swings out of schoolyards and ban dodge ball.
