What country eats monkey brains?
You know they chop of the top part of the skull & pick at them while they are still alive. Is it the same place that eats dogs? Liverpool I thought but could be wrong.
Good photos you've taken Page 30

It's not NEARLY as depressing now! Thanks Bill
Yup, I think he is pondering the Origin Of the Species & thinking: surely we are not descended from the same origins as those pesky humans.

The live monkey brains is a bit of a myth.
I mean think about it they'd punch you in the nuts whilst you ate;.

It's really not. *reads* Ok, so it might be. 
I think if someone is going to go so low as to eat live monkey brains, they might not object to also tying the poor bastards arms and legs up beforehand.

This seems to be a recreation but the monkey definitely carks it first.
BAD TASTE WARNING!!

That's the one I'd seen, but reading up on it, it's apparently fake.

Look at what the vicious simian bastards get upto themselves.
They made Attenborough cry the wankers.

I pretty much gurantee no one will want to look at this video, but it pretty much eliminates any illusion that these symian bastards are in any way cute
There seems to be some confusion in recent messages.
Nat's photo is of a Chimpanzee which is an ape.
Talk of eating monkey brains relates to monkeys, not apes.
But as SootyJ points out via the Attenborough clip, chimps are carnivore (or omnivores rather) just like humans. For a long time they were thought to be vegetarian.
Humans are closer related to Apes than to Monkeys.
{all as far as I know without going googling to check my facts}

Careful, sooty. If you keep up with all this animal-baiting the animals are going to have to "deal" with you.

What's a gorilla? An ape?
Basically they're all going to hell according to fundamentalist Christians on account of having no souls.
This tickled me for some reason. I like the idea of one-upmanship amongst floors.

Yes
Pinched from Wikipedia
Under the current classification system there are two families of hominoids:
* the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 14 species of gibbon, including the Lar Gibbon and the Siamang, collectively known as the lesser apes.
* the family Hominidae consisting of chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans[1][2] collectively known as the great apes.
A few other primates, such as the Barbary Ape, have the word ape in their common names (usually to indicate lack of a tail), but they are not regarded as true apes.
Except for gorillas and humans, all true apes are agile climbers of trees. They are best described as omnivorous, their diet consisting of fruit, including grass seeds, and in most cases other animals, either hunted or scavenged, along with anything else available and easily digested. They are native to Africa and Asia, although humans have spread to all parts of the world.
