The chimps in the study were given cooked and uncooked versions of carrots, sweet potatoes and beef. Said chimps showed a preference for the cooked foods. Well dang, I prefer cooked food too - especially if somebody else cooks it for me! I wonder if they got Banana's Foster for dessert? I suppose the next step is to teach them sign language so they can order up their food. You know, from the 'Zoo' Chef...
In an attempt to duplicate the researcher's results I did an independent study of my own. My study involved asking Sock Monkey what he thought. Since he can't talk, (he is a monkey after all) he ran out to the kitchen and showed me via monkey display just what sort of cooked food he prefers. That's right. Even monkeys prefer pepperoni pizza!

This information came just at the right time - I have Mr & Mrs Orangutan coming over tonight and there was me about to serve up salad... I'd never have lived it down!
Always happy to be of assistance, Mr. Mouche!
Does that mean that cannibal monkeys eat Fish 'n' Chimps? :D
Mouche: yes, and then they go ape-sh*t.
They also like to hear nice background music when they're eating, too. Maybe a nice Frank Sinatra rendition of "Gorilla My Dreams" or maybe a nice medley of hits by the Monkees... or maybe "Monkey Business" by the Black-eyed Peas or maybe the theme song from Magilla Gorilla...
eschimpa: and at bed time they like nothing better than Curious George...
My sis and her husband are both raw foodists. I'm tempted to send this to them. But I do take the risk of them calling me a chimp.
YAY! More research money wasted on useless information!
That's a great picture! I hope sock monkey doesn't have a habit of sitting on the stove, particularly after someone has just boiled some water for tea.
Man oh man....my first visit here and there's a sock monkey. Second only to spiders for me an the squizz chart, but hey, I'm not you. :)
I LOVE your poem below. Nicely done!
Thanks for visiting my blog, BTW. Hope to see you again!
