A perfect promotional for Wednesday's last episode of Your Inner Fish, which is called Your Inner Monkey. I sure wish they would do a series on Shubin's "The Universe Within"

These guys are quite active, but I've heard that they have an even wilder cousin. The cappuccino monkey never sits still.

Excuse me for pointing this about the pun. The species of the monkey and the style of coffee are both named for the Capuchin Friars, in particular, the color of the cloaks which they wear.

Yes, yes. We all know how they got the name "MONKeys." ;)

The monkeys and the coffee drink are both named for the religious order; both are said to resemble the habit of Capuchin friars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capuchin_friars

The best part about this punchline is making up all the stuff before it... like "The Aristocrats". :-)
