“Once inside the home, officers discovered that Mr. Givan was in the process of ‘smoking the lab off,’ which is the final step to the manufacturing process,” Gillenwater said. “Officers located mason jars with coffee filters in the tops which were straining the actual finished methamphetamine from the chemical liquid. Another coffee filter with a considerable amount of methamphetamine was found stuck in behind a fluorescent lightbulb, which is a way of drying finished methamphetamine.”

Deputies also found four monkeys in the home, which Givan reportedly keeps as pets. Gillenwater said the exact type of monkey was unknown, although he said three were smaller, around 20 pounds, and one was larger, about 50 pounds.

I always wanted a monkey, myself. I wonder if these will be available for adoption?

Agreed. Simian sidekicks are a bad idea. Had one as a kid. They scratch, bite, and “squirt.” Can’t be housebroken.

Early memories of monkeys on TV

Dave Garroway on Today - J Fred Muggs?

Bob Barker on Truth or Consequences - Beulah?

They were so cool!

My pre-cup o joe mind saw this headline as
"Monkeys complete math problem"

My heart leapt! I knew monkeys were smart and humans, well, not so much lately. We can all use some uplifting news right about now!

Question is, which problem did they solve...was it the Hodge conjecture or Riemann Hypothesis or something entirely different?

Lab owner and 3 of the monkeys in question:


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

No.

Nyet.

Nada, Ningun, Ixnay, Nope.

Nevah Evah.

I mean: something that has the equivalent of five hands? Think about it...

When KV was young he wanted a monkey assist as a quadroplegic.

Then he watched the movie with whats his name the guy who played superman?

Uhg. Anyway the guy played a quadroplegic with a monkey to assist him and the monkey was trying to murder him and harm others around him or some such plot.

THat right there ended KV’s desire to have a monkey assist.
