Rampaging Monkeys

The Monkeys Strike Back

India is apparently a hotbed of Monkey insurrection. Reports on the news wires tell of increasingly violent monkey unrest. In New Delhi, Deputy Mayor S.S. Bajwa was attacked and killed in his home by a monkey. Then, last week, a monkey went on a rampage in a nature park near the city. Indian newspapers report that the monkey injured 25 people and tried to drag off some children for some unknown nefarious monkey purpose. I am not making this up.

Apparently the monkey insurrection has been going on for quite some time. Here is an extract from a book called India and the Indians written in 1911:

“Monkeys have become lawless citizens of Delhi, and will no doubt greatly welcome the enlarged scope for mischief which the new city will open out to them. They travel in troops over the flat roofs, and are very bold and mischievous, and great thieves. But monkeys must be studied in their wild freedom in the woods to appreciate them. When seen leaping from tree to tree with refreshing elasticity, or from rock to rock in the open country, their spirit of fun and mischief having full scope, the sight is a delightful one. They stick very closely to their own districts, although now and then a solitary monkey will detach himself from the rest and search for pastures new.”

I will continue to monitor the news wires for more reports of monkey rampages. I suspect that the true magnitude of the problem is not being reported so as not to cause panic. Planet of the Apes was a documentary!

If you are wondering what the purpose of this site is, there really isn’t one yet. I bought this domain name because I thought it had a funny ring to it and might be a good web address for a game or humor site one day. But in the meantime, I am just parking it. Instead of placing one of those annoying paid search holding pages I decided to insert a little bit of rampaging monkey content. Thanks for stopping by!
