11:00 AM -- Now they're arming monkeys.

For those of you who missed it, Reuters reported on April 21 that the Mesa, Ariz., Special Weapons and Tactics team has applied for a federal grant to train a capuchin monkey (sneaky little buggers, capuchins) to undertake law enforcement tasks that might require a... well, a monkey, I guess.

You know the kinds of things: banana boat highjackings, terrorism-related feces flinging, accordion use...

Of course, monkeys packing sidearms is nothing new. Several Florida counties already require it.
