BBC reports on a new drug that causes weight loss in monkeys. Of course, I’ve never seen a fat monkey. Still, Jay Solo and Frank J should be pleased.

    No that Frank himself has fallen back among the primates, he might be the next test subject. Of course, I am still looking for a picture of him so as to paste it on a chicken body and put it on my masthead. 😉

    And thanks to modern science it is doubtful that we ever will see a fat monkey now.

    (Although I do remember one on the Simpsons.)
