Let's see... If Ken Arndt fell under the table, would he make a sound?
Would it be spelled correctly?

You asked once before where morals came from, you lovable Leo Buscaglia
clone you, but all you do is snipe at poor souls (and rich Rosens)
while they agonize--or paint--over the delaminations in their moral
fiberglass.  You give the distinct impression that the acid test of
a morality (amorality?) is in its answers.

Well that's boring.  No moral code worth its pillar of salt is lacking
vast cracks and crevasses.  I'll go further than that--a moral code with
easy answers to hard questions is at least suspect, if not downright
dangerous.  Good questions should be savored, like good wine.  Or are
you intimating that the proof of the pudding (simian or otherwise) is
in the eating?  If so, please pass the salt.

OK, OK--you really want an answer (yawn, indeed)?  The answer is:
Because monkey brains have fewer calories! (Less filling! Tastes great!)
