Funny story (at least so I thought) about monkeys in India.  In this case, specifically, at a Buddhist temple.

The macaque monkeys will steal items of your--sunglasses, your phone, the bottle of coke you just bought, etc etc--and then scoot up a tree or anywhere else that's just out of reach.  And then the best part:  They'll return your stolen items to you if you give them some food.  I watched this happen I don't know how many times.

This is why I'm highly skeptical that size of the human brain plays as important a role in our intelligence as we tend to think.

These monkeys, with their tiny little brains, understand enough about how the world works in order to practice extortion.

just got back from arenal and really, really enjoyed our stay at nayara.  pretty special spot and i would highly recommend to anyone - particularly if you are looking for a more romantic-styled getaway.
