They weren’t just looking for a unique souvenir; they were testing to see if any unsolved crimes could be the fault of these banana-eating miscreants.</p> <p>While these primates ended up being as innocent as they seemed, the police did determine that their fingerprints were indistinguishable from a human’s without careful inspection.</p> Fri, 19 Jul 2019 16:14:53 +0000 Ada McVean B.Sc. 7835 at /oss
