The alleged story is indeed mostly true (reference here) although apparently it was two Heineken bottles, and the the theory of how they got there is that it was a prank, not an oversight during construction.
"I've been working for five days without any sleep to finish this report. At first I had a mental block. But on the fourth day I was visited by an Incan monkey god who told me what to write. Now I just have to find somebody who can translate his simple but beautiful language."
One time I hired a code monkey to write code for me at work. I would just sit there with my mind a complete blank while the monkey typed on a little keyboard. At the end of the project my boss said "Team, I want you to give a presentation on your code." So I made some PowerPoint slides that said "Hello, my name is Bingo. I like to climb on things. Can I have a banana? Eek eek." I got fired and my job was transferred to India. When I told my wife about it she said, "I told you, never trust a monkey!" The end.

Slimy things with legs? Damn, did I miss Coleridgepalooza again?
But the fourth one stayed up! And that's what you're going to get, son, the strongest island city-state in the Agean.
Maybe we could use the huge vacuum to clean out the septic tanks and factories?
Man. I'm gonna need bigger pockets.
