Egyptians used trained baboons to serve them food, as well as wait on them as bathrooms attendants.

Do you agree with this? And how can I get baboons to do this for me?

If the ancient Egyptians jumped off a cliff, would you do that too?

What's there to be afraid of? It's shaped like a heart

That would make the best Valentine's Day card ever!

The man head...not the baboon picture.

On a separate note, the thread title alone made me laugh out loud before I opened it up.

Baboons rock. Ancient Egyptians rock. Sometimes I feel like I work with baboons. If I can train a baboon to do my job, I can surely train a baboon to serve me grapes and fruit juice.

Excellent plan, Kerrigan, I like the way you think.

I was once served a date by a fez wearing monkey in Marrakesh.
I didn't eat it.

Baboons are overrated. They couldn't even build the pyramids.

I would train them to be very stealthy and wield huge granite clubs. I would then station them near my diamond mine so that future explorers would think that their ninja skull crushing mojo was the work of grey demons.

They might not serve you food, but they will throw feces at you. Not sure if that is what you are after though...
