I have no idea if this is true or not, but The Austin Chronicle has a story about the Chinese ink monkeys, who, according to lore, “were an itty-bitty variety of primate trained to mix ink, pass brushes, and turn pages.”
Hmmm… I think I feel my leg being pulled…
Close relative of the Siamese typewriting monkeys, who, if rumors are true, are busy at work on an edition of JBorges’s collected works that includes the short story, “Pierre Menard, Author of Don Quixote.”
