My favorite bit: "Brosnan, who said she is now conducting similar studies with chimpanzees, noted that the capuchin that got the grape didn't react at all to the unjustness of the situation. That 'probably implies there is still a lot of difference between their sense of fairness and ours,' she said."
See, to me, that suggests powerful similarities. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

That's a hilarious concept. I was expecting it to be an Onion article. Fascinating results, but it shows that those monkeys weren't very smart. What they should've done was banded together and gone on strike until they could get a Snickers bar or something.

This is also possibly the primordial birth of religion, and at the same time, religion's evil twin atheism. The monkey who gets the grape says, "Yes! Somebody up there must like me!" The monkey who gets the cucumber says (in a French accent), "A cucumber! Curses!... there is no god." And then he goes and smokes a cigarette.

I, MojoJojo do not find it amusing that monkeys are not being treated equally and fairly, that is to say, that some monkeys have been given an unfair advantage by some scientists, and others are not, and I do not find that funny.
*strikes evil pose*
Professor Utonian also treated me, the evilMojoJojo, unfairly, offering me only small pieces of bratwerst instead of the fruit that he gave to those cursed POWERPUFFS !
*maniacal laughter* *changes evil pose to another: equally as evil!*
One day I, MojoJojo, will be most unfair to Professor Utonian, and then, after I prove that I can be unfair to him, I, MojoJojo will unfairly hatch my evil plot to destroy the POWERPUFFS and take over the helpless city of Townsville!
