Was going from viewpoint down to the market by the driving range yesterday and as we came down the road an adult monkey was lying in the road and a group of people were all watching from the other side of the road, one of the other monkeys started to drag its dead mate towards the pavement with its tail.
R lass asked a thai woman what had happened and the monkey had moments earlier been electrocuted by those dangerous looking cables.
Poor little bugger
Electrocuted monkey

When I saw the title I thought it was a thread about a new European rock band.
I've seen monkeys "walk the wires" down the road in front of my house and wondered how they kept from being electrocuted.

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
Re: Electrocuted monkey
It must have been a shocking experience for the monkey



Don't try to impress me with your manner of dress cos a monkey himself is a monkey no less - cold fact

Power transmission is usually by dual or three phase systems. Touch just one wire and you're safe. So's your monkey.hhfarang wrote: I've seen monkeys "walk the wires" down the road in front of my house and wondered how they kept from being electrocuted.

Re: Electrocuted monkey
We had to leave the scene once i began to chuckle, I just thought the fact that the other monkeys thought more about their mate than the 18 chinese people that left that 2 year old girl for dead, said a lot about monkeys compared to chinese people
Re: Electrocuted monkey
This just shows that the monkey showed more compassion for its fellow being than you did for the unfortunate lady you talked about in the Night Crawlers section........You're a real class act
