Topic: Capuchin monkeys were trained to use money.

Take that you communist swine! Though this economist made the mistake of associating brain size with intelligence which has been found numerous times prior that there is no link. I would have expected the psychologist to inform him, but she seemed clueless. This does make me question if chimpanzees or even these monkeys could start following a religion or perhaps even coming up with their own that is completely alien to us human beings. Imagine how our view of ourselves will change should we know that another species managed to come up with a form of faith. That news might just be Earth shattering much like the announcement of extraterrestrials existing in our universe. If this article is satirical or hyperbole then enjoy this funny read. Food for thought.

I guess if the monkeys did have a religion it would be something like a cargo cult, with humans as gods using magic to make things happen.

I like this though. "Animals do it so it's natural" is now an argument for capitalism, not just homosexuality.

@previous (B)
But the thing is that homosexuality occurred in nature by itself, this was introduced to nature by humans.
