*Why The Name Munkeez Strikin' Matchiz??????????
When Scott Free lived in New Mexico during the early 90's, he happened upon a scientist who worked at Los Alamos Labs who recalled hearing a story that went like this: After being invited to work on the Manhattan Project, Albert Einstein was said to have referred to project scientists as "monkeys striking matches." Einstein alledgedly went on to say "Scientists who base their calculations on E=mc2, should concentrate on splitting bananas, not atoms."
...............We share 96% of our DNA with chimps, and from afar, probably look like "monkeys striking matches."
...............Based upon the evidence of:
a. man's carelessness with Earth's natural resources..........
b. our apparent ease with "living pollution"..........
c. our well documented traits of racism, sexism, ageism, and terrorism..........
~one realizes that we may very easily fit the bill..................
