O.P. monkeying around with video games just took on a new meaning
Anyone ever tell you that you spend too much time monkeying around with video games? a zoo in Atlanta has put up some minimalistic 'games' in their orangutan pen, and gotten them to actually test it out.

Story on CNN:

so basically they're teaching them to play with the games by positive reinforcement with food, kinda reminds me of Google's "PidgeonRank Technology" :P I wonder if we as humans will ever be able to actually teach other animals to do some other technical tasks like this.

What kinds of things do you think you'd want a monkey to do for you if you had a pet monkey?

I'd get him to clean my room :refuck:
