Ok, maybe they are not holding people hostage yet. Thought this was an interesting article in CNN. Gives a different view on monkeys in my book.

Don't be so sure, I heard they plan to use trained monkeys in S.W.A.T. teams with mounted cameras and a mini-bulletproof-vest (I kid you not).
here's a link http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050419/D89I6I580.html
It's a conspiracy, these monkeys are getting everywhere, they'll be running for president next! Hey wait a minute... :D

I almost got into a fight with a wild monkey this year.
Nearby there's a horde of them living in a park. Unfortunately, people have been going there and feeding them. Result? Monkeys now expect it and don't bother hunting for their food. They just hang round the car park waiting. And being the bright little buggers that they are, they soon figured out that a bag (especially a plastic one) usually carries food.
While I was there, some people turned up to use the park's bbq. While they were unloading their car, a monkey that had been sitting watching them carefully suddenly sprung into life when he saw a plastic grocery bag being pulled out of the car. He rushed over to grab but retreated when the people shouted at it.
So it ran up onto the motorway walkway overbridge and proceeded to yell and scream at them for several minutes. It was kinda funny really. I could almost hear the expletives in the loud angry screams.
Unfortunately, this brought out a whole lot of other monkeys and I had to cross the bridge to get to the bus stop. A big male saw that I was carrying a bag and just sprinted over towards me and jumped up onto the handrail only a foot or so away from me, baring his teeth and screaming. It was pretty freaky. I was thinking "If he jumps at me, I've got probably one chance and that's to punch it in the face as hard as possible and hope this knocks it off the bridge to be run over by a car or truck on the road below. Otherwise I'm in the hospital getting shots for rabies and god-knows-what-else when it bites me."
Luckily, when I yelled at to 'Fuck off!', it understood and did.
Anyway, that's my boring monkey attack story. I just felt like sharing it with you.
