Monkeys eat bananas, right? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Monkeys eating only bananas is probably the most ignorant thing I've ever read here. That means not that many posts here are ignorant though.

I know that me saying this is disliked but I think that still thinking monkeys only eat this type of fruit at your age displays a severe hiatus in your biological upbringing. Blame it on your parents,if you like.

err it is possible they typed tongue in cheek ?

I think Tolkien describes Bilbo as screaming like a steam train in the hobbit....and there weren't any of those in ME..... but I think Tom Shippey deals with this in "Master of middle Earth".....
