There is a town about 80 miles north of Bangkok - Lopburi ( used to be a Special Forces base there ) - which has a temple literally crawling with monkeys. ( Amazing Race actually had a challenge there a couple seasons back ) I darn near lost a bag full of camera equipment there until I bribed what appeared to be the head monkey with fruit. They are fun to watch, but walking around the temple is like being ON monkey island at the zoo and there is definitely a feeling of being outnumbered ( and often out-smarted <s> )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
