Oh, and icthy, twenty years ago when I was in the service, one of my comrads and I watched Wizard of Oz, and discussed the psych warfare implications of weaponizing winged monkeys.  Confronted with something like that I would surely go ridgid and topple over. -------------- Cave ab homine unius libri - Beware of anyone who has just one book.

This is a prime example of science gone awry.  This research is funneling much need grant money from studies which are in the public intrerest, namely, How Can We Make Monkey Brains Tastier? -------------- Cave ab homine unius libri - Beware of anyone who has just one book.

Ichthyic Posts: 3325 Joined: May 2006 (Permalink) Posted: June 20 2006,13:31    Quote How Can We Make Monkey Brains Tastier? hmm, I think they're pretty tasty as is.  If we made them any tastier, certainly the demand would quickly begin to outstrip supply, and just like caviar, the price would get so high as to make monkey brains only attainable by the super rich. Is that what you really want? -------------- "And the sea will grant each man new hope..." -CC
