Move over police K-9 unit! There's a new animal cop in town: the Monkey Police.
A Thai police force has begun taking a monkey dressed in officer's uniform on patrol each day to help improve relations with Muslim separatists.
Trainers taught Santisuk, which means peace in Thai, to pick up coconuts and he now lends a hand collecting the fruit with residents.
The monkey also helps supervise a police checkpoint and his boss says he has made it a much happier place. Motorists now stop to play with Santisuk, rather than getting angry at the hold-up.
Other forces are now considering introducing monkeys to better their image in the troubled province.

None of pelosi's family businesses are union, i.e.
I worked for an organization that was created in the 1950s that initially had a 3-year study mission.
I have never commented on this sight. I come here for fun, but I do notice that you only and often post anti-union pieces. I checked the link you have to the New York Post, a Rupert Murdoch owned publication which states that what you have posted is only an accusation. Nothing has been proven.
Unions, like any organization do make mistakes, but it would be nice if you posted stories about unions fighting when people have been unfairly fired, working for decent wages, and generally improving people's lives.
But perhaps this is a politically conservative web site and I didn't know it. Do other people know your hatred of unions and working people? Do others know that you pass off Newscorp and Fox biased Murdoch news? Do your advertisers know it? I will not look at this site any more and I plan to tell others of your bias.
To me, the Neatorama post seems to be a very fair piece on unions. It is an article defending a groups right to unionize. The guy wanted to form a union, was fired for his idea, and the article is making it known to all.
Not all of us carry the same politics and will find some articles neat. Others won't. Big deal. There's no need to sling accusations of hatred or thinly veiled attacks through advertisers. Unless, of course, you wanted to shut Alex up, which seems to be your intent.
CYA Jason, no one cares if you stay or leave. The interwebby is a very big place, and your presence or absence is not even a rounding error on the webstats.
You are a tool.
I meant to type fool.
Is it ironic that a "veteran writer for the United Federation of Teachers" who's paid $100K/yr uses "whoever" and not "whomever" as the direct object?
