GUWAHATI, India (AFP) - Troupes of monkeys are out of control in India's northeast, stealing mobile phones and breaking into homes to steal soft drinks from refrigerators, lawmakers in the region have complained.
...

Because of shrinking forest cover, monkeys have increasingly moved into cities elsewhere in India as well.

Crank call you and drive up your text messaging bill.

What a shame.

If they had trained those monkeys to use typewriters, we could have gotten a free copy of Shakespeare in two million years!

burn through your minutes
Thank God I'm on prepaid.

Trained monkeys that serve the Great king of FYVYDFRKJKLJ.He's the one who keeps giving you those toll-free calls on your home phone.It's been kinda slow latly so he trained some monkeys to steal phones so he could rack up their minutes and give them back as soon as they get new cell phones.Ingenius isn't it?

The Great King likes phone sex, perhaps?

Or, maybe, they are being trained by human thieves to steal...

The monkey god uses it to prank call the elephant god? :p

Hanuman's a total asshole, too, if I remember my comparative religion.

Nothing like a Philippine Monkey-Eating Eagle to snap up those noisome monkey neighbors. I got to see a few at work when visiting over there... impressive.

Is it wrong of me to root for the monkeys? Because if it is, then I don't want to be right. :)

Y'know, orangutans are apes, as are humans.

Because of shrinking forest cover, monkeys have increasingly moved into cities elsewhere in India as well.

And they didn't see this coming?

Orangutans are Apes.

I find it interesting how they want to get rid of the monkeys when THEY encroached on the monkeys' homes. I can't blame the monkeys at all, but what they are stealing should be proof that they deserve to be given the same rights as humans.

By the way, humans ARE apes.

Keep the Crazy Frog guys in business.

Neither Orangutans nor Katganistan are monkeys.

*OOK!!!!*

*Katganistan watches while the Librarian falls upon the OP like the Descent of Man*

I love the sweetest, most harmless one's, and the most psychotically evil. Humans and lemurs.
