My my, that is some tail...

He must have slipped on a banana skin.

I know I shouldn't laugh, the poor bloke... But, it is an amusing way to die. Terrible as it is, Its somehow hilarious

Instead of trying to get rid of the monkeys by using bigger monkeys they should try and retrain them as butler monkeys. Everybody wins then, even the monkeys.

What a way to go, death by monkey.

RIP

Imagine the headstone...

I bet Mr Pilkington is rubbing his hands with glee after that!

I want to be the person who gets employed to "eliminate the plague". Monkey-hunter...

Terrible way to go though.

JCBeastie · 21 Oct 2007 at 23:39

Am I the only one who thinks it very convenient that the man protesting about these creatures and who was actively trying to rid of them was killed by the same monkeys?

Primate assasination squad anyone?!

I tried not to laugh, so got a school-girly giggle....

RIP.

I was thinking the same. I couldnt stop laughing and I shouldnt.

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

HAHA - Anybody seen the Simpsons episode where they train up each creature to beat off another cause Bart brought back a frog from Australia?

That's exactly what I just said in an irc channel

Isn't that the episode where Bart kills a bird, and nurtures the eggs, believing them to be bird eggs, when they're actually lizard eggs? Which kill all the pidgeons, then they bring in snakes to kill the lizards, then Gorillas to kill the snakes?

I watch too much Simpsons...

Someone really didn't think this idea through did they?

Can you imagine monkeys walking around like they owned the place? Attacking people, stealing stuff etc...

Humans > Monkeys :mad:
