That story about the monkeys This was a robot news item a few weeks back, and I saved it because it makes me smile. (Yes, smile! Dammit! I can smile! Call off your troops!) I just love the last sentence....
Escaped monkey found in old folks' home A monkey that escaped from a circus was found at a old people's home being fed bananas by residents.
Police in Bremen received a call from Zirkus Adolfo in the evening saying a rhesus monkey called Mogly had gone missing.
They began a search, and soon heard a monkey was stealing fruit and vegetables at a nearby old people's home.
According to a police statement, they arrived to find the place "buzzing with excitement".
"A group of elderly ladies was delightedly feeding little Mogly bananas and other treats," a spokesman said.
The monkey allowed itself to be put on a leash and led back home by a circus tamer.
"And some of the ladies probably took a little longer to fall asleep that night," the police spokesman said.
