This headline asks: “Why did Japanese scientists make apes inhale helium?” That’s kind of a stupid question. They had helium and they had monkeys so they did the obvious thing. Also, since it was Japan, it was probably part of some game show. Anyway, the important thing is that, while we would assume the result would be funny, they scientifically proved it.

mother of God, they’re trying to make them fly!
Science! is up to no good. Again.
Not to worry; the Japanese have an unimpeachable record when it comes to making large, powerful animals fly.

“As God is my witness, I thought monkeys could fly.”
If done in the U.S. under Obama’s stimulus grants, that study would have cost millions.
