I always thought those things were for picking up needles. From a haystack. May have even thought that it was for picking up noses @ one time. Or was that FOR picking noses?
Monkeys are scary.

I dunno, I think its pretty creative. They probably saw the closest thing within reach that would do, and used it. Way to think smarter, not harder, kids!
Fascinating. Were they trying to open the bag or keep it closed? If closed, someone has trained them well. Pliers may not be the best thing for that but at least someone made the effort.
Ritz crackers, Wheat thins. Bet you have Triscuits and real Gumi Bears too. WOW...heaven. Wish I could be an opposable thumb with that selection. We get none of that in Northern Denmark just licorice and more licorice which I thumb my opposable nose at ...er no?
hey, at least the bag was effectively closed. way to think outside the box, little monkeys.

I'd rather see them used to close a bag of nuts than for my husband to use them to pluck hairs from inside his nose. Yes. He does.
ReplyDeleteUsing clothespins and binder clips for these things over here!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are high-end.

That's some serious commitment to fresh pistachios...
ReplyDeleteHey, whatever works. I'm impressed they weren't left open after not seeing a chip clip.
ReplyDeleteI use binder clips on my pants sometimes, but I'm not saying where.

ReplyDeleteThe post title is as clever as the little monkeys adaptation to their environment.
ReplyDeleteI can see where the brains came from.
Fascinating captain.
ReplyDeleteThe juvenile indigenous life forms show a remarkable adaptability and creativity within their environment.
They may be hostile though.
Set phasers on stun.
Plus they can use it to defend their nuts if threatened. Very smart.
ReplyDeletehahaha i love those yumm..lol
ReplyDeleteSkip the picture if you find the socket wrench.
ReplyDeleteIn my house that bag would have been shredded into tiny little pieces. Would be happy if the monkeys were cleaner, like yours.

ReplyDeleteI believe Alton Brown could classify that as a "multi-use" tool. Genius!
ReplyDeleteWhen you find a saber saw in your pantry, time to get a lock for the toolbox.
ReplyDeleteAnd the tools are going to get bigger and bigger - axes are next!
ReplyDeleteI usually just use a flamethrower.
ReplyDeleteI like my nuts crispy.
