The Monkeys Are Running the Town

Send us Fan MailThis week on Moose on the Loose, we discover that ancient employee loyalty had absolutely no limits.First, we travel back 4,500 years to the ancient city of Ur, where servants, musicians and guards were buried alongside their dead king so they could keep working for him in the afterlife. Talk about a job that follows you home.Then we revisit the 2001 classic Shallow Hal and ask the important question: was it a heartfelt lesson about inner beauty, or two hours of fat jokes wearing a motivational speaker costume?Finally, we meet the rhesus macaque monkeys that have figured out organised crime. These furry little masterminds steal phones, glasses and wallets, then demand food in exchange for returning them.Plus: animal trivia, Two Mooses and a Lie, and Tara discovers that some animals are far smarter than either of us expected.It's dead kings, monkey extortion and questionable life choices all the way down.
