    They are not infected with any disease whatsoever. They are harmless and a little skittish,”

    The monkeys are females weighing about 7 pounds (3 kilograms) and are so young and small that they haven’t been used for testing…

    TRANSLATION: If you live in South Carolina, go get yourself an adorable monkey friend and save her from a hellish life.

    The new guy didn’t close the gate? I feel there should be more barriers to 43 monkeys escaping, no matter if they’d been infected with something or not. Pun intended

      28 ______ Later?

      (Edit) I know they didn’t initially escape, but if memory serves, monkeys were the initial cause of Rage.

        Dammit! That was the first one I thought of before accidentally swiping back a page and losing the comment that I had started.

        I’m putting it back in.

      Maybe it was more like Project X and someone saved a bunch of super intelligent monkeys… Probably should secure any aircraft, cause otherwise they’re heading straight for the Everglades!
