The monkeys are coming!

The BBC reports shocking news that a man in a monkey suit has been elected mayor of Hartlepool (a town in the UK).
Although this has nothing to do with Monkey Island, I thought I would through this in for sheer monkeyosity.

Also "Monkey Mayor" has promised to give every child a banana at break, like milk used to be.

his name is H'angus, a reference to the story of when the bishop of hartlepool found a monkey washed up on the beach and the people thought it was a napoleonic french spy so they hanged it.

You have to admit that Monkeys that sail ships and monkeys that survive ship wrecks are kinda connected. I wouldnt be suprised if Stan's Legend had anything with reference to this.
