    I know it’s America-centric of me but “monkey fucks up entire country” hits different over here

      That’s an orangutan, you can tell by the color.

    “unplugged nation” is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.

    The newsworthy parts of this:

    1. It was a monkey and not a squirrel.
    2. It took down the entire grid and not just a section of it, because poorly-designed and -maintained grid.

      The monkey was clearly a highly trained intelligence operative
