I think I saw something like that in a movie once...or did I just dream it

[Bell Bouy II]

Shoot to kill,all of them

[Rurudyne]

A literal 12 monkeys.

I’ve seen this movie. It doesn’t end well.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Their monkeys working in their virus labs sound a whole lot smarter than our monkeys working in the CDC labs.

Sometimes a story comes along that makes one shake their head and think no one could make this stuff up so it must be true.

This is one.

I had to read that headline three times.

[stars & stripes forever]

These monkeys?

Now that you mention it. Fauci does have a bit of that primate look. Similar height too.

English needs parentheses in the language to show how words should be grouped. I first read

It is the latest example of the highly intelligent, red-faced rhesus macaques taking advantage of India's nationwide lockdown to combat the spread of coronavirus.

As:

It is the latest example of the highly intelligent, red-faced rhesus macaques taking advantage of ( India's nationwide lockdown ) to combat the spread of coronavirus.

interpreting that the monkeys were combatting the disease spread, which made no sense with stealing samples and chewing on them. Then I realized the sentence actually meant:

It is the latest example of the highly intelligent, red-faced rhesus macaques taking advantage of (India's nationwide lockdown to combat the spread of coronavirus).

meaning the monkeys took over when we surrendered the streets to them.

Had to look to see if it was the BEE.

Hmmmm. Well dressed.....serious, studious looking. Could they be Chinese students attending a local university and stealing intellectual property?

Disease tracking at the CDC.
