Monkeys Heart Metallica

[naomi_jay]

This either explains a lot about monkeys, or a lot about Metallica...

Personally, I fear chimpanzees as they feed into my whole weird phobia about things that look human but aren't. Like androids, puppets*, and mannequins. Chimps register somewhere in the middle of all this - I fear them more than puppets but less than androids, because they're creepy and smart and they eat each other. Too human. But these little tamarinds? So cute! I can't believe they're soothed by Metallica - Metallica make me want to run down the street wielding a baseball bat screaming, "you're a twat, Lars, and you know you are!" at the top of my lungs.

Still, I guess it's another important study, right? Like turning chicken embryos into dinosaurs for no reason.

*I also fear the Metallica song "Master of Puppets."

Basically it goes: androids > monkeys > puppets > cockroaches > clowns > small children > nuclear war. Like any sensible person, I have my priorities straight.
