quite literally, across the river from us.

look up morgan island. 

1200 research monkeys left, now up to over 4k. 

the research lab no longer could import monkeys from sri lanka, so they breed them here.

well...like so much of what humans do, 'they' didn't need 1200 monkeys, so they dumped on the island.

One of my favorite Letterman jokes: "If you locked a million monkeys in a room with a million typewriters...the stench would be unbearable."
