I’ve seen video of the macaques doing their thing in the restaurant. It’s pretty cool — they mainly handle bottle service.

Aha! Now I know what to do with those 1,250 doorknobs out back in the shed.

Vincent (Van Gogh)‘s excuse was mental illness. What’s David’s?

Two mentions of macaque monkeys in the last three days, but no one has pointed out that they wear coats when visiting Ikea stores…

Seasickness in sheep? Useful research when one considers that they transport thousands by ship. Much like container ships, except wire cages instead of steel containers.Didn’t I read once where they lost a shipload due to heat?(Bet they had a hard time finding a port that take them!)

I have heard of a lot of useless research, but oddly, I do believe the one on seasickness in sheep could have some value. As observed above, understanding the differences between species that don’t get motion sickness and those that do can increase understanding of the syndrome itself, and perhaps point to more effective treatment.
