Scientists Discover Monkeys Who Know How To Fish!

I copied that headline verbatim from the My Way News site which I followed breathlessly from a Drudge link because it promised an exciting new discovery concerning these amazing fishing monkeys. Well, you don’t have to click on the link; the article is boring as hell, and the picture tells the whole story:

I don’t see a fishing pole, do you?

I mean, what a let down. I was expecting to see a monkey wielding a crudely made fishing pole, or net. But noooooo, they just scoop up fish with their hands, like any other animal would, for pity’s sake. Like we’ve seen grizzly bears do a thousand times on The Discovery Channel, or Golem in the Lord Of The Rings.

Sheesh, Drudge has really been pissing me off, lately.

    Ok, I read the article.

    I am slightly impressed that they were cold smoking the fish before eating it.

    Those monkeys aren’t dangerous.

    This monkey is dangerous. He also has exploding testicles.
