A study published in the journal Current Biology found that when one chimpanzee urinates, the others in a group are more likely to follow, a phenomenon called “contagious urination” that could have deep evolutionary roots in humans as well. What do you think?

“I can’t believe some people are lucky enough to get paid to watch monkeys pee all day.”

Peter Morris, Tea Developer


“I bet one day they’ll find we have other things in common with chimps, too.”

Sandra Roben, Boot Resoler


“Is that why chimps are always trying to follow me into the restroom?”

Joey Hickman, Unemployed
