Blog request: This one goes out to Sarah...

Apparently our urges to stalk powerful and sexy people are not unique. Macaque monkeys do the same, in an experiment where they were able to trade juice to view a lady monkey's hindquarters or a superior guy's image. Maybe they're trying to stay hip to the fashion trends or discover which girls may be up for some play? Anyways, doesn't this somehow justify purchasing the latest copy of the Enquirer or the Daily Mirror on our way through the check-out line? Anyways, I love proof that humans' have inflated egos, when we stake claims that our rationality puts us so far above all animals. Really, what we call "reason" is just "good spin" for why we do the things we *want* to do: the things that many other animals want to do, as well.
