The hell with the water..lets eat! :rock:
LOL your too funny bud, but then again I know that story too. So tell me again why I'm here? Am I the new Monkey?
Paradigm
A certain behavior in a group that the majority of the group does not know the source of, based on hearsay and/ or observation can be termed as a paradigm. For example:
An experiment was once done with a group of Capuchin monkeys. About 100 monkeys were held in a large cage and a bunch of bananas was suspended from the top. Monkeys love bananas right?... As soon as they went for the bananas a hose sprayed them with cold high pressure water. The group soon learned to stay away from “those bananas”. 10 Monkeys were removed and 10 new monkeys introduced in the cage. Monkeys love bananas right?... When the ten new monkeys went for the bananas, the entire group was again sprayed with cold water. (they left the bananas alone).
10 monkeys were taken out 10 more introduced. Monkeys love bananas right?... When the ten new monkeys went for the bananas, the entire group was again sprayed with cold water. (they left the bananas alone).
10 monkeys were taken out 10 more introduced. Monkeys love bananas right?...
This went on for several cycles, it reached a point when if a new monkey went for the bananas the entire group would beat the crap out it! (Justified right? The group didn’t want to get sprayed with cold water.)
This went on for several cycles…. Many a poor unsuspecting monkey who’s only crime was loving bananas, would get a beat down from the group.
Eventually the experiment reached a point when NONE of the monkeys in the cage EVER got sprayed with water. However, anytime a new monkey was introduced and went for the bananas… He would get a beat down from the whole group…..
I think everyone should just stop talking about this dumb Sh!T and get on with life.
Close these threads as all points have already been made . Let Ernie jump into the forums and stop making the focus on this garbage. Then see where it goes from there. This has been dragging on for days now and we are beating a deadhorse here.
He has been welcomed to the forums as well as the rest of his club. Put this BS to rest and get on with the show!
