Monkeys Pay for Monkey Porn

An anonymous reader writes "Give a monkey some spending money, and he'll blow it on pictures of women monkeys. He'll also pay to see dominant monkeys. But you'll have to pay him to look at inferior monkeys. That's the upshot of a study out of Duke that was designed to explore the 'social machinery of the brain with an eye toward helping autism patients.' Next up -- seriously -- the researchers want to run the same test on Joe Sixpack (sans the monkey business)."

      Where can I download this monkey porn?

      You jest, but... I have a web page which has some information a bit related to monkeys. Many people find that page when they do a search for "monkey pictures", which I've noticed when skimming through my web logs.

      One day quite some time ago, I came across someone who had found my web page by searching for "monkey pictures" but who had also added a "-sex" to avoid pages mentioning sex. Ever since then, I've wondered what they had come across earlier when searching for monkey pictures which made them feel they needed to add a "no sex" option to their search...
