30. There was a study where 2 groups of monkeys had to do the same "work"

Thursday

and one group got better pay (grapes) while the others got monkey chow.
Well the latter group eventually went on “strike” and stopped working.

So at one job in the past I would say monkeys are smarter than us because we continue to toil for people who do no work at all.
