After discovering the latest omen of the world’s coming demise, the Clog encourages Berkeley students to put down their books and enjoy their short-lived time on earth.

After watching macaque monkeys for nearly 20-months, Dr. Michael Gumert has come up with a novel theory: male monkeys pay for sex by grooming their female counterparts.

He based this theory on his observations of monkeys being three times as likely to have intercourse if grooming occurred compared to instances when it did not.

Dr. Gumert failed to mention if this trend was also found in humans, but we’re hoping Memorial Glade is filled with groomers this coming semester.

The sex part is great and all, but some Berkeleyites could just really use a good cleaning.
