that or brain damage:

"After intensive treatment [for stomach flu, the young macaque monkey] Natasha's condition stabilized. When she was released from the clinic, Natasha began walking upright . . . aping humans.

" 'I've never seen or heard of this [monkey walking upright] before,' said [veterinarian] Horowitz. One possible explanation is brain damage from the illness, he said."

sorry -- i can't resist -- who's brain is damaged -- the veterinarian's or the monkey's?
