## Resource

A monkey, a mad scientist, and a quadriplegic walk into a bar. The scientist says, "Did you just walk!?" and the monkey sets the bar on fire. We're saying our fond farewells to RoMAYro, and we're doing it with style: with a monkey. MONKEY SHINES (1988) a bleak film about a man given a capuchin that's secretly being given brain-gooder juice until it turns homicidal. Proof that sometimes, ignorance really is bliss.
