#1 The average guy could rip a macaque apart. Problem is, those bastards are quick as a snake

#3 Is it cannibalism to eat a monkey? It's kinda like eating your cousin thrice removed, so I guess it is OK in some jurisdictions.

#5 Is it cannibalism to eat a monkey?

Not exactly, but how badly do you want AIDS or Monkeypox?

If you got any funny ideas from the Temple of Doom, just say no.

#7 I once fought off a posse of these bastards while my dog tore out the innards of one he'd caught. I was sixteen or so. The whole neighbourhood just stood and watched like idiots. The things would swoop in and nip and swipe at us and I had just a cane staff to hit them with. At the end of it we both had multiple lacerations, there was blood everywhere, ours, the monkeys... all running together.

Killing a monkey in India is like, 'oh noze! You done gone killed god Hanuman!' And some activist type did shout something about 'now we must kill the dog too!'

Drenched in blood I gave them a look and they shut up.

Macaques are really scary to fight. It was like Aliens or Starship Troopers there for a while. They only retreated when they saw they couldn't help their guy anymore and he lay severed at the waist.

They're afraid of lemurs, or other higher order monkeys for some reason. So some communities keep their own trained lemurs to ward them off. I don't know how this works.

#8 Is it cannibalism to eat a monkey?

Anymore than a raptor (eagle, hawk, falcon...) eating a pigeon?

#10 This is how it starts, then Charlton Heston ends up finding the Statue of Liberty half buried in future time.

#12 One Bad Injun, or, A Man of the West

An hombre, a dawg, and a drama!
A faux-leather saddle, a brahma,
A portrait: St. George
Sticks his lance down the gorge
Of an ass-draggin' mascot o' er... Bama.

Too flip, of course, for such a good story. Had a better one this morning but it's done a Kubla Khan on me.
