    Hmmm... these little fellas could do my job. Where can I get one? Don't say Neverland...I don't want a second hand one.

    To be fair, I doubt the chimps were hungover during the tests. :?

    Students probably aren't so motivated by the reward of a handful of peanuts for their effort. They should have used local newspaper journalists instead.
