Hooray (and a barrel of simians!) - it's time for this week's Neatorama and Hobotopia's Caption Monkey game. But first, the story of the wheelbarrowful of orangutans. From the Daily Mail:
Orphaned by Man's folly, [the orangutans] are unable to rely on their parents to teach them the ways of the animal world. So every day at the rescue centre which is their home, they are wheeled into the forest to learn.
Link (with loads of baby cute orangutan photos!)
Okay, onto the game: funniest caption will win an original Laugh-Out-Loud Cat comic by Adam "Ape Lad" Koford. One caption per comment, please. You can enter as many funny ones you can think of.
Oh, don't forget to check out Adam's blog for inspiration. Good luck!
Update 10/8/08 - Adam has picked the winner! Congratulations to planettom who won with this poem (inspired by this Neatorama post):so much depends

A wheel barrel full of monkeys of course!
The pet store was selling them for five cents a piece. I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand each. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like monkeys.
