Who is smarter?  Bill Gates or the spider monkeys?

FACT: "Spider monkeys have been known to shake a vine occupied by a predator
to cause them to fall.  They have also been seen raking off dead branches
weighing nearly 5kg and dropping them on the predator."

Spider Monkeys handle their predators.   Yet, Linux is constantly
encroaching on Bill Gates territory and he cannot figure out how to defend
it!   Hint: Learn from spider monkeys!

 
FACT: "They have a prehensile tail, which acts as a fifth limb, able to
grasp objects or hold their entire body weight for long periods."

Bill Gates cannot hold on to his monopoly the way these spider monkeys hold
on to tree limbs.


FACT: "Probably only gibbons exceed spider monkeys in agility in the trees. 
Acrobatic and swift, spider monkeys move through the trees, with one arm
stride covering up to 40 feet (12 metres). "

Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer are pudgey overfed blobs who can barely move
their weighty carcasses around any more.   A couple more shouting matches,
and some vertebrae will be snapped.


FACT: "Spider monkeys rarely descend to the ground, but are capable of
bipedalism (walking on two feet) on the ground with tail held in a curve
parallel to the back."

Bill Gates will be on all fours now that Dell, Palm, Acer, IBM, HP and the
rest are all pushing Linux.
