For those who don't want to read the whole thing, I have distilled the Fark essence of the article: females ... sleep together.

Can a macaque monkey get into the housing of a welded monkey-proof walking eye, or does that take a more specialized monkey?

A macaque is a really good general purpose sort of monkey

And if it's not really good, you can spank the monkey.

My wife married me because of macaque.

I found it strange that the "monkey" link in the sentence about 5 year olds drawing monkeys went to a story about monkeys paying to see female monkey bottoms.

 
tripperday 2008-01-19 03:21:52 PM  
Dammit, Malinki. I was going to make a similar joke.

Anyhoo, neat article. I wonder if the intelligence and social sophistication of the macaque keeps medical researchers up at night. I'm not saying they should feel guilty, but I the only way I could do one of those jobs is if I had the disease I was researching or knew someone who did.

elpepe55 beat me to it. "Macaca" was what gave Democrats back control of Senate.

How do they react to being spanked?

tripperday: Dammit, Malinki. I was going to make a similar joke.

By all means, add yours, I was in a hurry or I'd have phrased it better. Couldn't believe someone hadn't beat me to it.

Heh. Beat macaque.

This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track
This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track
Not what I heard or saw on TV,
But what I witnessed entirely
Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey track

That's not all I use macaque for.

submitter (quoting TFA): A macaque is a really good general purpose sort of monkey

That's absolutely true.

They're great grilled or roasted. Terrific as stir-fry. Wonderful as kebabs...and they make for a great soup base.

Mmmmmmmmm. Delicious.

But unlike humans, their adaptation to a variety of places is natural, not cultural.
