Ninja Monkeys!





(Illustration: CS Jennings)


"The monkeys made their bid for freedom [from a Japanese research facility] by using tree branches to fling themselves one by one over the high voltage electric fence located nearly three metres away.

However, despite the intelligence shown in their great escape, the primates appeared unsure as to what to do with their newfound freedom: the monkeys remained by the gates of the research centre and were lured back into captivity by scientists armed with peanuts."


If there is a fourth Kiki Strike, these monkeys will definitely have a role. Mark my words.

More here. Thanks for the tip, Big K.

Wow! If these monkeys get experimented on, I will be so mad.

...Maybe the Irregulars could...render assistance? These little guys surely deserve it.

My brother says: Help them escape and send them to a little old man in the Himilayas so they can, y'know, reach their full potential.

(As ninjas)

For once, I agree with him! Will wonders never cease!

maybe kiki trained them. she's certainly ninja-like enough...but then again, helping/training animals is more kaspar's thing, isn't it?

Yes! I knew Kaspar would come through for the monkeys! Too bad they didn't escape all the way. Haha....forget the fourth book, I'm still sitting in a dark corner of my room, twitching and muttering things to myself, waiting for the third book! Next year, right?

What do you mean, /if/ there is a 4th Kiki Strike? ;] Or are you being suspenseful because none of us know how KS3 ends =].

By the way (and I don't know if I'm the first to say this) I'm surprised you haven't done a post about Anna Chapman, the best-known of the 11 alleged Russian spies arrested recently. I'd give you a link to a news story about her, but I don't have one handy.
