    Well, I just dunno how to feel about this - are they saying that a monkey can teach English, or is it a cutesy method for giving students someone who has comparative and therefore relate-able English skill?

    "Lulu the chimp has initially been hired to work in the chain’s internet-based teaching curriculum which enables students to conduct a dialog with the teacher in a chat room style format via computer."

    Either way, I wonder how long I start getting paid in bananas...
