Did you really walk on a bridge made of monkeys? Because I was told you were the go-to god for this problem Skye and I are having. It all started a few weeks ago, when Skye and I... well, we were talking all about monkeys and all, and I was thinking how much I'd like to build some sort of monkey structure, and anyway, one thing led to another, and -- well, let's just say a monkey bridge will not support a 1992 Subaru. Or will it? Here's how it started. First, we thought we'd just have the monkeys voluntarily get into "bridge formation," like they did for you. Skye supervised, suggesting they link tail-to-tail:
and then line up and link arms, like this:
Then, we strung the whole group up between two cliffs. Needless to say, here's what happened:
Naturally, we went back to the ol' drawing board. We realized that you had only walked on your monkey bridge on the way to save Sita. We, on the other hand, were trying to drive a 3,200 pound car over ours.
Skye bought some welding equipment, and I went out and gathered all the high-tension monkeys I could find. I assumed raiding University labs and stealing all the smoking-and-drinking monkeys would be the way to go. We
gathered the monkeys together and got to work. We took turns welding,
and finally decided on a head-foot-head-foot design. We did our best
to screen out any monkeys which Sadly,our results were similar. As a matter of fact, we had hardly started across the bridge this time when, amidst a crescendo of monkey-crunching and vague little human-like cries (they're so cute, even when not wearing pants!), the Subaru again plummeted towards the earth. Anyway, between you, Sita, and Hanuman, we figure somebody probably remembers how you pulled it off. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Dear
Rama,
So
we decided to create a high-tension monkey bridge.
may
have been lower-tension than the others, knowing that a chain is only
as strong as its weakest link.posted by Merrill
