Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, I used to watch the cartoon, Curious George, with my son when he was younger. Cute cartoon, but I always thought it was strange that a grown man would have a monkey as a pet. Then the other day I saw an ad where a woman wanted to adopt a pet monkey. She claimed that she couldn't have any more children and wanted a monkey to love at home. I'm thinking this woman is crazy. Monkeys belong in the wild, or a zoo, not at home. If she wanted a pet, why not get a dog or a cat? If she wanted a baby, try adopting. Substituting a monkey to fill the void seems like a bad idea to me. I thought it was illegal to own a monkey in the United States. I know it's possible to get almost any type of pet these days, but is owning a monkey really a good idea?

Cash: It should be no surprise
to you that so many people think of their pet as one of the family. In fact, some people dress them in outfits, buy them health insurance and even send them to day care during work hours. Carry: Before you know it, people will be sending their pets
Fast Facts Monkey Business
While some may remember Michael Jackson for his "Thriller" career or Neverland Ranch, others may recall his pet chimpanzee, named Bubbles. It was reported that Michael rescued the animal from a cancer research facility in 1985. Bubbles was trained to use a toilet by himself and eat his food using cutlery. As he grew older though, the chimpanzee became more aggressive. Today he is living at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida.

to college! Cash: The woman you described could have any number of reasons why she wants a pet monkey. Regardless, the most important thing for anyone to consider is the care required for the pet. This applies whether it's a dog, cat, rabbit or yes, even a monkey. Carry: The legality of owning a monkey is controlled on a state or town level. Presently, some states prohibit them from being owned as pets while others have strict regulations or require permits. The laws are constantly changing so it's important to do the research before considering such an exotic pet.
Cash: Since monkeys are wild
animals by nature, you can imagine owning one is not for the average pet owner. They can carry unusual diseases that need to be considered and can cost much more to care for than a typical dog or cat. Carry: And while they're cute and cuddly when they are small, their temperaments do change as they reach maturity, sort of like an out-of-control teenager. They can become aggressive and even destructive, especially if left alone or bored. Cash: So if this woman is simply looking for companionship, she may be best to consider a cat or dog and leave the monkeys to the Curious George cartoon.
Entertainment Tonight
As humans we seem to have a fascination with celebrities. Between news programs, movies and TV shows, we can't seem to get enough. However, a recent research study suggests the obsession may go deeper than just the influence of the media. Researchers at Duke University found that monkeys were also mesmerized by images of "celebrity" monkeys. When given a choice between receiving their favorite fruit juice or viewing pictures of dominate or "celebrity" monkeys, the pictures consistently won. The study was conducted as part of autism research. •

Reader Humor Monkey Talk
Every so often my brother Larry and I get our families together for a dinner. Since both of us are biology teachers, it's usually not long before we get into some sort of intellectual discussion at the table. At the last dinner we somehow found ourselves on the topic of Darwin's theory. After a long-winded debate on the controversy of creation versus evolution, I posed a question to my 13-year-old daughter. "Do you think it's possible that our relatives long ago could be apes?" I asked her. We all laughed when she looked at my brother and replied, "It makes sense. I mean it would explain Uncle Larry!" (Thanks to Peter Q.)
