(H/T: Fark Geek) The title is all that’s necessary, I think:
Alcoholic monkeys in the Caribbean mimic human drinking habits
…OK, and the video:
Mostly because somebody out there has a job that lets them go to Caribbean islands to film drunken monkeys. That lucky so-and-so probably even had a budget. Why was I not told by my high school guidance counselor that jobs like this existed? It would have given me something to aim for.

(Via AoSHQ) THIS IS NOT A JOKE:
Astronomers searching for the building blocks of life in a giant dust cloud at the heart of the Milky Way have concluded that it tastes vaguely of raspberries.
This is SCIENCE. Science that is made of AWESOME. It is made of awesome because the chemical that they found – ethyl formate – is not only what gives raspberries their taste; it’s what gives rum its smell. This is important because if one chemical compound is out there, all sorts of chemical compounds must be out there. Including the one known to all of us as CH3CH2OH, or ethyl alcohol. Which we knew, yes… but we didn’t know before that recognizable flavorings also existed, due probably to non-organic processes. So, do you know what this means? This means that somewhere out there really is a planet which has a drinkable analogue of tequila for its oceans.
All we have to do is find it.

PS: What? How do we do that?
Why are you asking me? Isn’t this what we have scientists and engineers for?
