# MONKEY BUSINESS. TOKYO -- There's a new ordinance before the town assembly
of Nikko: "Don't feed the monkeys." Tourist attractions include a 318-ft
waterfall, a shrine that is the burial place of a 16th century shogun and
troops of wild monkeys. Problem is the monkeys, while scavenging for food,
have stolen bags & bitten people. Govt blames it on the tourists' feeding
habits. http://cnn.com/2000/ASIANOW/east/03/06/bc.japan.wildmonkeys.ap/

Illuminati, secular humanists, robots, snakes, burros, hot peppers, ghosts,
vendors, camcorders? Are monkeys, apes, lemurs, other primates, worshipful?
