I just found out that there's a monkey college that trains capuchin monkeys to be carers - found this article about one of them - Minnie helps out a quadriplegic man and can operate microwaves, select and play CDs and DVDs and tidy up amongst other things. I got pretty excited over the fact that the monkeys are fostered until they're five...unfortunately the system's in the US so I can't look after any simian friends just yet. One day though...

Just returned from a holiday to Lanzarote, where
I found these baffling signs. I know salida means exit,
but what's the relevance of the hands? Any ideas?

My first ever pinata! My flatmates bought me this beautiful unicorn for my pre-birthday present. It took about 10 minutes to tear her apart and I did feel a tinge of guilt as we left her there ripped and hanging by the neck (they are pretty rare after all), but the sweets made it all OK.
