If you've spent any time on this site, you probably know that we are big fans of monkeys. There's something about the pure innocence in their eyes combined with the deadly accuracy of their feces-flinging that makes them so adorable. And now there's one that can walk around (albeit with the hitched gait of your grandmother.) We're not sure if we should give it a hug, or kill this new species of humo-monkeys before it takes over the world and forces us into cages to hone our own (admittedly poor) feces throwing skills.
Other crap to look at:

Braindamage? Since when is the stomach so intricately interweaved with the brain where a stomach flu can cause braindameage. Ever hear of evolution? If you ask me, the Zoo's scientists are the braindamaged ones.
Yeah...it's really not that remarkable, nor is it a new species. I don't see why the zoologists are making such a deal out of it. Chimpanzees do the same thing, as can some Sikfakas. Most monkeys will practice terrestrial bipedalism, but not as a common system of locomotion. The way their spines enter the skull, the proportion of their arms to legs, and how the pelvis and femurs are constructed is such a way that bipedalism is inefficient. The monkey doesn't walk very far before he has to sit down; for him to do that is hard on his body.
