I know I know you initially think I'm making this up (but google it I dare you). In Mesa, Arizona the police department is seeking $100,000 in federal grant money to purchase and train a capuchin monkey, which costs $15,000.
Capuchin monkeys have been trained to perform daily tasks, "such as serving food, opening and closing doors, turning lights on and off, retrieving objects and brushing hair." AP
The hope is that in a Kevlar vest with a video camera and two-way radio, the monkey would be able to get into places cops can not.

About Me
- Cali J
- Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.

I think that is cute! I want one. I will teach him to do my homework and to take notes in class. :)
Am I the only one that is reminded of "Planet of the Apes?"
Helper monkeys are bad ass. I own three myself!
I think i read that they also wanted to use the monkeys to talk suicide jumpers down. If a monkey can't make you smile and lighten up a bit, nothing else can and you might as well die. I second this grant.
Pray for Jojo.
