Something Else in the Belfry

There’s been a sudden rash of unusual sightings in Lebanon, Ohio: residents have been spotting monkeys on the loose. A woman caught a photo of one of the monkeys. “You can see his arm right here and his leg right here, and his hair and his face,” said Amber, who didn’t want her last name used. “This guy played music and [the monkey] was rocking back and forth to it.” Several residents think the monkeys may be escaped pets; police said they are investigating. Many residents, though, aren’t upset about the primates’ presence, and even find them entertaining. “As long as they’re not dangerous, I wouldn’t mind having a little one,” Sandy Sandlin said. “My kids are grown. Might as well get a monkey.” (MS/WLWT Cincinnati) ...It’ll be like nothing changed.
