Subject: [TN] NTC 8 Monkeys (was going to save this till Friday but why
not break the rules?)

I got this from an anthropologist friend.

Enjoy...

8 Monkeys

(This is reportedly based on an actual experiment conducted in the U.K.)

Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is  a ladder,
leading
to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.

Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all  the monkeys are
sprayed
with ice water, which makes them  miserable. Soon enough, whenever a
monkey
attempts to climb  the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to
be
sprayed, set upon  him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys
ever attempts
to  climb the ladder.

One of the original monkeys is then  removed, and a new monkey is put in
the
room. Seeing the bananas and the  ladder, he wonders why none of the
other
monkeys are doing the obvious.  But undaunted, he immediately begins to
climb the
 ladder.

All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat  him silly. He has no idea
why.
However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.

A second original monkey is removed and  replaced. The newcomer again
attempts to climb the ladder, but all the  other monkeys hammer the crap
out of him.
This includes the previous new  monkey, who, grateful that he's not on
the
receiving end this time,  participates in the beating because all the
other
monkeys are doing it.  However, he has no idea why he's attacking the
new  monkey.

One by one, all the original monkeys are  replaced. Eight new monkeys
are now
in the room. None of them have ever  been sprayed by ice water. None of
them
attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up
any new
monkey who tries, without having any idea why.

** This is how most companies' policies get Established.**
