Description The Monkey no.199, by Mano Negra from the album Casa Babylon

I said Yeah
Monkey
Now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree
Discussing things has they are said to be

Said one to the other, now listen you two
There is a certain rumour that can't be true
That man descended from our noble race
The funny idea is a big disgrace

No monkey ever deserted his wife
Nor her baby and ruin her life
I said yeah... Monkey speaks his mind
And another thing you will never see

Yeah... The monkey speaks his mind

Lol - nice song, but not true. Chimps and bottlenose dolphins are the two animals known to kill others of their own kind for reasons other than survival (for survival, killing of ones own kind is rife throughout the animal kingdom).  Tis a savage planet, we are just the head savages.

Guess they are more like us than we would like to think (or visa versa).

Lol - Mark Twain was clever, knowing the truth (with evidence) sure can get you in trouble if that truth happens to be inconvenient to others.
