They are just so damn cute!  At least in the lab setting.  In the wild, they must be vicious little shit slingers.

Great vid.

Especially when we elect them to Congress.

The secret is to keep them coming back for the grape.  If they know they will get that grape if they just persist, it will distract them from ruining the country.

I showed this to Malia, she just came home, and she loved it!!! But she wanted to make sure the other monkey got a grape after the last one got one. I told her yes. She wanted to make sure they both got the same amount in the end. She's so cool.
