What's for dinner? Monkey heads!

The next time your kids complain about eating broccoli, show them The New York Times article about the Nukuk tribe that recently wandered out of the Amazonian jungle. A photo shows one little Nukuk scamp gnawing on a barbequed monkey head.

Let’s imagine it’s dinner time at the Nukuk hut. Mom is frazzled from hauling the kids all over the jungle for blow gun practice and dad just wants to relax for a few minutes after a day of gathering berries and avoiding the poison dart frogs, anacondas and that jerk Nukuk co-worker who keeps talking about his new spear.

"Mommm, what’s for dinner?"

"Berries."

"Aawww, that’s all we ever have."

"Young man, you’ll eat every berry on your palm leaf or there will be no dessert."

"What’s for dessert?"

"Monkey heads."

"Yaaayyy, monkey heads!"
