If you or anyone you know can figure out the secret to this monkey encounter, please e-mail us that information. Because seriously, you guys; We wanna meet a baby monkey. ...

Oh, you want to wait for the whole thing? Yeah, I guess that makes sense. You wanna play some Words with Friends later? Yeah, I know I always stomp you in that game! That's because you need a modicum of sense to play it; you can't just scramble your little paws all over the screen and hope for some good stuff to happen. Silly monkey. ...
