Your tax dollars at work under the Obama administration LITERALLY involves monkeys throwing their crap around!
Truly amazing that people are STILL paying TAXES after literally CRAPPY expenditures like this:
A stunning amount spent on stupid studies like Why do chimps throw their poop? Almost $600,000 of your tax dollars was sent to the folks who studied chimpanzee poop tossing, plus $198,195 paid to find out if tweeting makes people happy Its all HERE.
Feces -Throwing Reveals Communication Skills in Chimps (GA) $592,527
Chimpanzees will often throw food or feces at passersby.
Taxpayers have funded a study to figure out the origins of this odd behavior.
William Hopkins, at Agnes Scott College, and researchers at the Yerkes National Primate
Research Center (associated with Emory University) used a portion of the $600,000 from the National Institutes of Health in 2011 to assist their study of throwing behavior in chimpanzees and its neurological origins.
Chimpanzees are one of very few organisms that can throw objects, which zoo visitors can often observe. For example, one of the investigators research papers says,
―Some of the chimpanzees will pile faeces or wet chow in their cage and wait for
visitors to pass by before throwing this at them.
