    Now this is really weird news: http://news.discovery.com/animals/ta...errorists.html

    Monkeys have been trained by the Taliban in Afghanistan to use machine guns and trench mortars against U.S. military forces, reports People's Daily Online.

    According to this Chinese media story, monkeys can now operate the Kalashnikov, Bren light machine gun, and have the ability to identify and attack U.S. soldiers based on the appearance of their uniforms.
    The below photo has been widely distributed over the Internet.

    The report indicates the Taliban was inspired by none other than the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, which it claims used peanuts and bananas to train "monkey soldiers" in Vietnam. This information was, in turn, attributed to a "British media" report from last month.
    The story ends by saying, "A senior U.S. military source confirmed the existence of the Taliban monkey soldiers, military experts call armed monkeys 'monkey terrorists.'"
    [SIZE=+0][SIZE=2]So we have a story built on rumor, with no named sources, quoting a media source of unknown origin. Personally, I think a clever monkey could be behind the whole thing.[/SIZE]

    Kung sa bagay, dito sa Pilipinas, mga unggoy naboboto rin sa pulitiko.

    Well, I can't distinguish the difference between Talibans and monkeys. I don't wonder anymore.

    at first natawa talaga ako but then, I realized that how people are really losing their humanity, as even innocent animals are used or being trained to be a killing machine.
